LTG’s Great War Archive is featured in the University of Oxford 2008/9 Annual Review.
‘A great deal of unique material, and also knowledge, is not held in libraries and museums but by members of the public. Through engaging the wider community in digitisation, we can reveal new avenues for research and add to our understanding of key historical events.’
LTG’s Thema study of the use of digital technologies by students on taught Master’s programmes at Oxford is now available. An executive summary specifically targetted for Oxford is available along with case studies and recommendations. Please contact Dr Liz Masterman for further information.
More than 70 Oxford University colleagues have released their material as Open Content this year as part of the OpenSpires project. Thank you to you all.
