Their service is at 6.30pm today if you happen to be in the area, and being streamed live on youtube, too! https://youtu.be/EAaVpBgl7Fc?si=yyzyNP3JmdIj8rgK30 Nov 2025 07:56 +0000at://did:plc:onbxtnq63pxccit6w54dsabw/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6tgtxyjdk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/andrewcusworth.bsky.social/post/3m4urpias2c2rToday's a busy day in #digitalhumanities at Oxford ...

Now, though, his outright support for destabilising hard-right movers like Farrage in the UK and the AFD in Germany tells a story that it’s impossible to ignore.22 Dec 2024 13:04 +0000at://did:plc:onbxtnq63pxccit6w54dsabw/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldvi4luhuc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/andrewcusworth.bsky.social/post/3lcixjvbeec2pCongratulations, Helle!

There's a nice open-endedness to a lot of the steps, suggesting things to consider rather than presenting a didactic 'one true way,' which (I hope!) is valuable in an evolving field. #digitisatalcollections [contains quote post or other embedded content]28 Nov 2024 21:10 +0000at://did:plc:onbxtnq63pxccit6w54dsabw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbzy2w5kus23https://bsky.app/profile/andrewcusworth.bsky.social/post/3lbpn24hc4s2oIn the past, I have tended to keep different accounts for different interests. I've never been able to decide if it really works, and my academia and music posts were always in the same place, anyway. So, I'll try a little integration and see how it goes. #SocialMedia101 #DecisionsDecisions24 Nov 2024 18:26 +0000at://did:plc:onbxtnq63pxccit6w54dsabw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbpn24hc4s2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/andrewcusworth.bsky.social/post/3lbhesrutmk2fHere are a few pictures of @agneatha.bsky.social and Dave De Roure introducing towardsdigitalcollections.org at the #TaNC #UnlockingCollections conference.
