Presentations
 
Archival Diasporas: Dispersed Ethnographic Photographs in the Age of Digitization
Ricardo Punzalan
University of Maryland College of Information Studies, United States of America
 
This presentation will discuss a framework for understanding the contexts of archival dispersion that simultaneously act as barriers to representing dispersed ethnographic photographs online. As cultural heritage institutions facilitate digital access to archival images, the ethics of online display and digital return of ethnographic images pose serious concern.
 
 
A case study - Building an untraditional oral history digital collection
Victoria Pilato
Stony Brook University, United States of America
 
A personal account of a faculty led oral history digital project consisting of student work. It will touch upon the trials, errors, and successful outcomes by discussing copyright, intellectual property, access, as well as file formats, such as best practices for born digital materials, specifically Word docs and PowerPoint files.
 
 
The Future of Finding at the University of Oxford: Visualizing Hidden Collections
Megan Hurst
Athenaeum21, United States of America
 
Update: September 2017. This presentation has been withdrawn. Oxford University has collaborated with Athenaeum21 to prototype a browse-based collections explorer, helping researchers to visualize the entire corpus of research materials available to them, and to find collections and items that are not currently discoverable through “traditional” digital search and discovery tools.
