Delighted to announce the publication of @nat_collection commissioned report on data management, documentation and archiving practices in digital cultural heritage projects: ‘Data Matters’. Thanks to @amsichani for a brilliant collaboration! doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

@DIYarchivist Congratulations Kirsty! Brilliant news!

I’ll be working on PhD edits for the next few months, but excited to take my community links into a department, build more (let’s talk in September!), do meaningful work in the UK heritage sector and continue supporting and nurturing students and ECRs as I go forward.

Some big news from me today: from September I’ll be joining the @SODAmcr and the iSchool at @ManMetUni as a Lecturer in Digital Information and Curation (on a full time permanent basis). I am so excited to join the team and students that I’ll be working with!!

Are you ready to help #archives realise their #LinkedData vision? Join @a_velios at our next free webinar to learn how those in conservation are approaching this task. Wed 10 Feb, 11-12 UK & Ireland time. eventbrite.co.uk/e/linked-data-…

@agri_archivist @livuniLUCAS Congratulations Michael! Brilliant news!

Proud to be a relatively new member of the amazing team at @livuniLUCAS as I will get to work alongside much admired colleagues and with the promising archivists of the future.

UK Archives/info studies/records management (and allied fields) PhD students/ECRs! Looking for a couple of speakers to give a short work in progress paper at the first UK Archive PhD Network seminar in late September/early October (tbc). Got some ideas you want to try out? Dm me!

A message from the White Cliffs of Dover. Sound on.

It would be great to see you there! If you have any questions feel free to dm myself, @lucy_brownson or @DIYarchivist

We took the cast of #SmallIsland for a field trip to the @bcaheritage last year. Have a look at what they saw before our online premiere of the momentous play this Thursday #NationalTheatreAtHome
