Subject: Social History, New Technology and a seminar!

Maybe somebody can help?

I am looking for some suggestions about a venue and case studies for a seminar on New Technology for Social History Curators.  To give you a little background...

I am one of the Seminar organisers for the Social History Curators Group, and I am beginning to work on developing a seminar about New Technology developments in relation to social history curatorship (mindful of your Stoke bash) - the seminar is likely to be in Autumn - the social history twist is quite important, especially as the potential audience may not be completely fluent with the latest IT developments in the museum world.

However any such seminar would need to cover latest collection management projects as well as public access projects, and perhaps hopefully a project that combined both!! - but were of course relevant to the social history discipline!

Many moons ago I organised a new technologies seminar for the SHCG in Croydon (96), some or you may have gone or even spoke, but I am aware technology and agendas have moved on quite a bit since then!!
