Recording It Ourselves #RIO21

Lunch break announcement: on Friday @BethanyAwkward and I are hosting the grassroots information school: a virtual teach out in support of @ucu strikers! From 10-1, attend talks and workshops by me, @Vicky_hoyle @EBNunn and Ruth Beresford! Book here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-grassroo…

Hello world! If we ran some skills sharing workshops in the future, what types of skills or knowledge would you like to learn?

Hello anyone collecting sound recordings! I am supervising an excellent student via the Dundee archives course who is conducting a survey about documenting rights in born-digital recordings. Fill out her survey/info here: dundee.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/co-creating-re…

Also, one of our speakers (Jim O’Donaghey) is crowdfunding for a book compilation about punk and anarchism - have a look here for more info crowdfunder.co.uk/the-anarchism-…

Hi folks! Just to say that because of a sprained wrist and some annual leave, we’ll be slow getting resources across to attendees - so be patient with us. We’ll also upload the videos we have permission to share at the same point. Thanks for your enthusiasm for last week’s event!

Been popping in and out of @RecordOurselves today and really enjoyed what I’ve seen/heard! Looking forward to going through the #RIO21 hashtag later on and catching up on all the stuff I’ve missed.

Kelly talking about how you can submit images to Wikimedia, making them open source #RIO21 @LondonLabrish

@RecordOurselves fascinating talk by @LondonLabrish working hard to increase visibility of under represented people & communities

Kelly explains what it takes to write and edit articles on Wikipedia, but stresses 'if I can do it, anyone can do it!' #RIO21

Kelly emphasizing that communities need to be compensated for the time it takes to readdress the imbalance in knowledge equity #RIO21

Kelly reflecting on race labour and how she chooses which articles she will spend time editing, prioritising uplifting individuals who have been enslaved #RIO21

Kelly mentions Black Lunch Table, who host editathons and aim to increase black visibility on Wikipedia blacklunchtable.com #RIO21

Super interesting closing @RecordOurselves keynote by @LondonLabrish talking data debt and data justice of marginalised communities - with necessity of including digital (as well as physical) objects within that #RIO21

Kelly talks about how Wikimedia commons collected digital images of the National Museum of Brazil, after it was destroyed in a fire in 2018, so that more memories of the space and collection could be retained #RIO21

Kelly speaking on how digitisation is not a solution, and not a neutral process #RIO21

#RIO21 Reflection on knowledge debt, knowledge extracted from those with african heritage, and taken away from communities

The evidence and analytics prove that opening up the licensing on files and including images and collections on Wikipedia increase audiences significantly #RIO21

Kelly on OPEN GLAM - open access CC0 content from institutions such as The Met and the collaboration with Wikipedia involved in this process #RIO21

Only 1/10 Wikipedia editors are women or non-binary @LondonLabrish #RIO21 editors are also overwhelmingly from the global North

.@LondonLabrish’s closing presentation about wikipedia editing is amazing, and the perfect call to action to close on! Especially all the info about disparity in who edits, connections to what is considered valid knowledge etc. #RIO21
