About the workshop

The 3 main projects will be presented in the morning session followed by a Q&A session and lunch. In the afternoon speakers and presenters will be involved in small group workshops to discuss with doctoral candidates how their own work may lend itself to digital archival research/exhibition. Free assessed modules are offered to all King's Postgraduate students. This one-day workshop supported by LAHP is open to LAHP students as well as other Doctoral candidates in the partner institutions and is free of charge.

Picturing the News: The Art of Victorian Graphic Journalism

httpps://research.kent.ac.uk/victorianspecials/

'Picturing the News' is an online exhibition, co-curated by Catherine Waters and Ruth Brimacombe that celebrates the rise of a new journalistic phenomenon in the mid-19th century: the emergence of the so-called 'Special Correspondents' and 'Special Artists', and reveals them to be distinct and related documentary professions. Taking advantage of the digital developments that have made these forms of print journalism accessible once more, this exhibition collects together a range of examples in order to demonstrate a renewed appreciation of the literary, historical and artistic significance of the graphic reportage produced by this pioneering group of individuals, who were despatched at short notice across the globe to report back from the scene of every newsworthy event of Queen Victoria's reign.

‘Quipu Project’ - 272,000 women and 21,000 men were sterilised in the 90’s in Peru. Thousands have claimed this happened without their consent, but until now they have been repeatedly silenced and denied justice. After almost 20 years their voices can finally be heard through this interactive documentary, which connects a free telephone line in Peru to this website. Quipu Project – has been screened at festivals worldwide and was recognised as one of the Nominet Trusts 100 most inspiring social innovation projects of 2015.
