ENG 484 Intro to Digital Humanities - Midterm Lightening Talk TaylorHein1
This project started when a Jewish museum discovered a letter and dress designs from a man trying to sponsor his wife as refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Through 5 years of research, the museum learned more about Hedy Strnad and her husband Paul. The museum collaborated with an university to create a digital exhibit honoring Hedy's memory. The exhibit features 5 sections walking through the discovery of the remnants and stitching together Hedy's story. It uses maps, documents, and Hedy's dress designs to personalize her experience and make Holocaust history more accessible and impactful.
Open Access in South African Universities - Beyond journal articlesEve Gray
The document discusses the history and current state of open access in South African universities. It notes that open access issues came to the forefront in 2015 during student protests calling for decolonization of universities and lowering of fees. Currently, South African universities emphasize publishing in international journals, driven by prestige and promotion systems. However, this system originated from post-World War II efforts in Europe to promote English and support British interests. Open access is presented as an alternative that could make research more openly available and address local needs through open publishing models. New models of open science emphasizing open data and continuous sharing of research are also discussed as emerging alternatives.

Knights during the era of chivalry in Europe were expected to limit their fighting to other armed knights, and certain religious restrictions like the Peace of God and Truce of God placed limits on when and where fighting could occur. Universities first emerged in Europe to provide education to a select group of "free men", with instruction done exclusively in Latin. Literature started moving away from solely Latin and toward the common vernacular languages of Europe to allow more people access to written works.

Writing first developed in ancient China as early as the Shang Dynasty in the form of oracle bone inscriptions used for divination around 1200 BC. Over time, Chinese writing evolved from mostly pictographs to a logographic script using thousands of characters to write Chinese words. The development of writing helped advance ancient Chinese civilization by allowing the sharing of ideas, histories, laws, and other important information across its vast empire. Today we have gained a greater understanding of ancient Chinese culture and history by studying artifacts like oracle bones, bronze vessels, and silk manuscripts that have survived from that period.

1) Over the past 30 years, authorities in the Netherlands and European Union have worked to develop standardized testing methods and regulations to assess leaching from building materials like concrete.
2) This was spurred by the cement industry's recognition that innovative applications required reasonable environmental standards, and that leaching performance is more important than a material's content.
3) These efforts have included the development of "without further testing" dossiers and regulations, which have saved millions of euros per year by reducing unnecessary duplicate testing in the EU. However, some technical challenges remain in harmonizing standards between countries.

From the Cabinets of Curiosities to Museums as a Social ExperienceCostas Papadopoulos
This document outlines a lecture on the evolution of museums from early cabinets of curiosities to modern institutions that serve social and cultural experiences. It discusses the transition from private wonder chambers to established museums in the 17th-18th centuries aimed at building national identities and promoting science. In the 20th century, wars, recession, and reassessment led museums to focus on being societal institutions supporting social and cultural resources. The lecture will next discuss how digital technologies and mobile apps are transforming museum experiences and engaging visitors through personal, social, and physical contexts.
Inspiring Research, Inspiring Scholarship The value and benefits of digitise...Simon Tanner
The opportunity to engage actively with British content that is educational, entertaining and deeply enlightening is here. Technology exists to drive forward a vision of intelligent environments that supply the right information to the right person at the right time. Paradoxically, what is missing is the depth of digitised content to make such technical developments more significant than mere playthings.
To achieve a Digital Britain that is educated and ready to exploit these new technologies, the treasure house of British content has to be digitised much more comprehensively.
For the intelligent Digital Britain we need beautiful information, authentic data, validated content and a critical mass that will drive economic impact, research innovation and social benefits.

2. DigiFest
DigiFest considers issues at the heart
of digital education and research, and
was attended by a range of
professionals in education at all levels,
including librarians, learning
technologist, teachers/academics and
IT staff. Marion and I attended on
behalf of Goldsmiths.
There was a diverse programme of
sessions, which also included keynote
speeches in the mornings and
afternoons from key movers and
shakers in education, including Simon
Nelson from Future Learn (provider of
MOOCs) and Richard Watson, a
leading writer and consultant. Marion
and I divided the programme by the
most relevant sessions to us; many of
which you would have heard discussed
in the recent staff development
sessions.
Marion learned about current and
future Jisc projects, such as JUSP
(Journal Usage Statistics Portal) and
IRUS (Institutional Repository Usage
Statistics) and their research into Open
Access, which has increased
relevance in the next REF in 2020. I
attended sessions on Jisc Media Hub,
which is the definitive academic
resource for audio, image and video,
and also a discussion and
demonstration of Jisc’s research into
augmented reality.
For those who aren’t sure what
augmented reality is, think: GPS
penguins!
We both attended a key session that
investigated student expectations of
technology in higher education, which
involved representatives from Jisc,
learning technologists and current
university students discussing both
student expectations and experiences
in higher education. Interestingly,
universities aren’t always keeping up
with the pace of technology as much
as students. This echoed a debate I
attended between two learning
technologists about whether learning
technologies were fit for purpose in
universities. The answer was a
resounding “maybe…depending on the
technology AND the purpose”. Marion
also attended a session that suggested
the UK is facing a serious digital skills
gap that can be solved with the
embedding of digital technology into all
aspects of higher education.
I also learned from Google about the
apps they are providing for free to
schools and universities (Google
Classroom), which allows teachers to
design a classroom, invite students,
communicate by email or by
‘hangouts’, set and grade assignments
and more with total ease. I wavered
between applauding Google’s
benevolence and being thoroughly
sceptical of their motives. Although
mostly widespread amongst US high
schools, it is gaining ground in the UK.
And this was just a snapshot both of
what we attended and which sessions
were on offer (around 8-10 at any
timeslot). Full details of the DigiFest
are available at
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/jisc-digital-
festival-2015-09-mar-2015, including
the programme and accompanying
slides for each session. By searching
back on Twitter at the #digifest15
hashtag, you can find out what
participants and delegates thought at
the time. There was plenty for us to
take back from DigiFest and potential
scope for future projects in the library.
3. Objects (in)sight
Objects (in)sight is an object-based
research series presented by
Goldsmiths Special Collections &
Archives. As keen researchers will no
doubt be aware, the various Special
Collections & Archives of the Library is
home to a wealth of curiosities and
rarities designed to assist students in a
varied and colourful study experience.
Objects (in)sight is therefore an
opportunity for Special Collections &
Archives to not only show off some just
a sample of the rich array of material
available to viewing, but also to
facilitate discussion around the various
research issues that arise when
investigating such storied items.
The inaugural objects (in)sight session
was held on the 10th
February and
focused around the fascinating vintage
Folkwear paper patterns housed in the
Textiles Collection wing of Special
Collections & Archives. The discussion
explored the process of interpretation
that influenced the design of these
documents.
The Folkwear packs contain
instructions on how to manufacture
various clothing garments, and the
vintage editions held in the Textiles
Collection are highly interesting due to
the heavy featuring of Western
interpretations on traditional Eastern
designs.
This process of transformation
between original cultural costume and
translation into different pastiches of
style became a point of concern for the
speakers Vivienne Richmond
(Goldsmiths Dept. of History), Emma
Tarlo (Goldsmiths Dept. of
Anthropology) and Sue Dray (London
College of Fashion, Fashion
Illustation).
Following a successful and well
attended inaugural session, another
objects (in)sight was held this month
on the 18th
March. Delving further into
the research issues based around
unique objects of study, the session
explored the relationship between
aesthetic and historical details of
another item extracted from the
Goldsmiths Library Special Collections
& Archives. The featured object for this
session was a pair of attractive brown
silk carriage parasols selected from the
Textiles Collection. Speakers Ruby
Hoette (Goldsmiths Dept. of Design)
and Christine Checinska (UEL School
of Arts and Digital Industries) both
encountered the parasols at different
points in their study, as they discussed
how it came to shape the course of
their own individual academic process.
The origins and construction of the
parasols, believed to have brought to
the collection by namesake Constance
Howard, came under scrutiny. One of
the more fascinating themes to have
emerged arose from respective
attempts at determining the
biographical history of the parasols,
and how the process of research can
sometimes lead to the production of
alternative narratives that shift the
direction of previously assumed
academic discourse.
4. The conversation between Ruby and
Christine opened up to the audience,
who were vocal in articulating their
own thoughts and experiences when
producing new content on historical
materials. The session was highly
productive in highlighting the
dedication and creativity that goes into
the specific craft of object orientated
research that Special Collections &
Archives aims to facilitate.
The next objects (in)sight is planned
for Thursday 14th May. Showcasing
the depth of Special Collections and
Archives, objects (in)sight will move
into sonic terrains with a feature on the
Vinyl albums of the Women's
Revolutions Per Minute (WRPM)
collection. The WRPM collection
features over 2000 items including
feminist and political, folk, world music,
traditional singers, acappella,
educational resources and women
composers from the 11th century to the
present day. To expand upon this
exciting resource are confirmed
speakers Nirmal Puwar (Goldsmiths
Dept. of Sociology) and Lisa Busby
(Goldsmiths Dept. of Music) with more
to be confirmed at a later date.

6. Spring/Summer Series 2015 Tuesday
5th May 2015
John Ashbery & James Schulyer, Glen
Baxter, Bill Berkson.
The Glen Baxter Collection is 118
books and 5 ‘zines of mostly second-
wave New York school poets - 60
writers in all - running from Ashbery to
Zukofsky. The collection was compiled
by Glen Baxter while he was working
at Goldsmiths as a lecturer in the
1970s.
The reading group is open to
everyone, is free and requires no
specialist knowledge. All you have to
do is visit
http://baxterreadinggroup.tumblr.com/
to find out how to access the texts. At
each meeting we will read extracts
from the texts aloud, look at the books
themselves and have an informal
discussion for around an hour in
Special Collections & Archives,
possibly continuing the conversation
after that at a nearby pub.
Note: Reading lists may be subject to
change so please keep an eye on
http://baxterreadinggroup.tumblr.com/
and, indeed, on Facebook.
