We are pleased to invite you to the third workshop organised by the AHRC-funded project Unlocking our Digital Past with Artificial Intelligence (LUSTRE) led by Dr Lise Jaillant (Loughborough University). LUSTRE seeks to better understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help improve the preservation, access to and usability of government archives produced in digital form.

This workshop is organised in collaboration with the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI). Through a series of talks continues the discussion on the AI applied to born-digital archives, and public sector recordkeeping.
