OHMS Demonstration Workshop with Doug Boyd

The newOral History Unit & Collectiveat Newcastle University has been set up to examine the role of oral history, particularly relating the social history of deindustrialisation and regeneration in Britain. The group also aims to look at the role of oral history in communicating the past to the wider public.

Oral History Unit & Collective

The Oral History Unit & Collective invite you to be part of a workshop with Doug Boyd from the Louie B. Nunn Centre for Oral History in Kentucky (USA). 
Doug Boyd is visiting us to discuss options for digital presentation of oral history using the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer system (OHMS) <A HREF="http://www.oralhistoryonline.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.oralhistoryonline.org/</A>. Doug will be beginning a six month residency in Canberra, Australia, in January to develop an integration of OHMS with the system used by the National Library of Australian, so this is an opportune time to have him visit. 
The workshop will be on Tuesday 25 September at 10.00am. Doug will contextualise the OHMS software in relation to archival public access and digital humanities more generally. This will be an opportunity to see this digital tool in practice, and for oral historians and digital humanities scholars to meet Doug and hear about his work. 
Following the workshop, there will be an oportunity to continue discussions over lunch.
