Looking for a New Strategic Approach: The Culture is Digital DIgitisation Tas...Museums Computer Group
Valerie Johnson, The National Archives
The #CultureisDigital project was launched at the end of March 2018 by the Rt Hon Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, coming out of the Government’s Culture White Paper commitment to review the digitisation of public collections and enhance the online cultural experience.
As one of the commitments from the report, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/culture-is-digital, The National Archives was asked to set up a Digitisation Taskforce to work with a broad reach of cultural sector representatives in order to explore a new strategic approach to the digitisation and presentation of cultural objects.
This paper proposes to discuss the work of the Taskforce and the results of the survey it undertook, and explore the themes that emerged, for example, content strategies, standards, data interoperability, preservation and sustainability, different economic models to fund digitisation, and skills development. The paper will show what the group achieved, and how it intends to take the work forward.
Immerse UK is a new cross-sector network for immersive technology in the UK. Fiona Kilkelly, Head of Creative Industries and co-founder of Immerse UK introduced the organisation at the Immersive Experiences Research call London briefing.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
