CAIS - Uni of Dundee

New Series! Then + Now: Changing Dundee. Join @UoD_Archives_RM for the first of a series of posts charting changes in Dundee. We start with the Belmont area of campus, see how things have changed since 1776. #OldDundee #Dundee #dundeeuni #DundeeUniCulture bit.ly/3mDGcCx

Next for #WellTogether we have this wonderful public art tour of Blackness by Matthew in @UoD_Museums. Whilst he can't physically take us on a walking tour at the moment, this virtual tour provides a fantastic alternative for enjoying our city and its art! buff.ly/2xWj2m1

It's time to enjoy some music for our #WellTogether event! You can read @dundeeuni's TradSoc's lovely post on why music is so important for our wellbeing, and view their fantastic lockdown 30 day challenge video on the #DundeeUniCulture blog @UoDMusic buff.ly/362I5R7

Next for #WellTogether we have this brilliant song 'Let's Have A Teams Meeting', written & directed by @UoD_IT's very own Colin, which hilariously explores the struggles we all face working from home. Watch on the #DundeeUniCulture blog for a good giggle! buff.ly/2Lkkule

Next week, the #DundeeUniCulture blog will be holding a week long #WellTogether event! We will be posting content relating to the cultural activity our staff & students have been doing at home to look after their mental wellbeing during this difficult time buff.ly/2xUBtHH

My #ArchivePath was MA(Hons) Art History @EdinburghUni, then p/t MLitt Archive & Records Mgt @CAIS_Courses, while gaining experience @NatRecordsScot, where my current role is SC & COPFS Archivist, a varied, & interesting post. #Archive30 Also the literal garden path @ the office

Archivist Luke started his #archivepath by volunteering at a local museum cataloguing their archives. This led to a job as an archive assistant @NorfolkRO before becoming a trainee archivist and studying via the distance learning course from @CAIS_Courses #Archive30

A video to illustrate our Archive Assistant @laurailuca's #ArchivePath to becoming an Archivist, & a snippet into her own archive of memorabilia - sound on for full effect! Today she is thankful for being able to continue on this path remotely via @CAIS_Courses #Archive30

We’re pleased to confirm that we will be giving everyone free access to our digitised collections very soon, but it’s taking our amazing digital team a bit of time to make it happen. (1/2)

PhD student @Historylady2013 has uncovered new evidence showing how vaccine hesitancy – often thought to be a modern phenomenon – can be traced back more than 150 years in Scotland. #vaccines @HumanitiesUoD buff.ly/2Wsp8Vd

@melindahaunton We can recommend a great conference - important theme (archives, records, memory, identity, authenticity) and springtime in sunny Dundee! Sorry couldn't resist the plug! bit.ly/2SYsgVd

I've just realised that after last year's considerable oversupply, I don't seem to be going to *any* conferences this year. (What is balance?) ...maybe I should look out for one. Or is that a slippery slope?

We have a fantastic opportunity to join us as a Lecturer (Teaching & Research) In Digital Record Keeping within the School of Humanities @HumanitiesUoD. For further information and details on how to apply, please visit: uod.ac.uk/2Sjd6td

Good luck Melinda, great to see such research being recognised.

Excellent article in @heraldscotland by @Lochlomonden on Scottish Crime writing. And don’t forget DCI Daley and the fantastic DI Brian Scott
