Hi Libby - if you have any leads at all we would be very glad to see them, as we are still trying to find a solution that works for us! And I am sure it would be of use to post what you have here for future people looking at the list archives for this type of info! Many thanks again.

I know some good digitisation companies, but I don't know if they do this kind of work. I will ask. I would be very interested to hear what you learn, we could refine the advice on our website. thanks, Libby ___________________________________ Libby Bishop Manager, Producer Relations - Research Ethics ___________________________________ T +44(0) 1206 872664 E [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> W ukdataservice.ac.uk ___________________________________ UK Data Service UK Data Archive University of Essex Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO43SQ __________________________ New book: Corti, L., Van den Eynden, V., Bishop, L and Woollard, M.

It's a good starting point. Our use case is different in that we have a huge dataset of photographs taken via people wearing lifelogging devices that take photos - including every person they walk past or talk to, every car number plate. So we are looking for a bulk-blurring type solution (that we can afford!). We had to work through an extremely rigorous Ethics Approval process related to this data. If anyone is interested, it is our iMCD Project which is providing a rich and multi-faceted dataset related to Glasgow over a specific time period: http://ubdc.ac.uk/our-research/research-projects/methods-research/integrated-multimedia-city-data-imcd/ Best wishes, Sarah From: Research Data Management discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bishop, Libby Sent: 11 February 2016 17:14 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Anonymisation of digital photographs Hi Lucia, We have moved away from recommending anonymisation of images, and suggest gaining consent to share or controlled access instead. I have copied our current advice below. Of course, every case is unique and if you want to email more particulars, I will try to comment further. Best, Libby https://www.ukdataservice.ac.uk/manage-data/legal-ethical/anonymisation/qualitative Anonymising audio-visual data For anonymising audio-visual data such as digital images or audio recordings, digital editing to remove identifying detail should be done sensitively. Bleeping out names or place names is acceptable, but disguising voices by altering the pitch in a recording, or obscuring faces by pixellating sections of a video image significantly reduces the usefulness of data. These processes are also highly labour intensive and expensive. If confidentiality of audio-visual data is an issue, it is better to obtain the participant's consent to use and share the data unaltered. Where anonymisation would result in too much loss of data content, regulating access to data<https://www.ukdataservice.ac.uk/manage-data/legal-ethical/access-control.aspx> can be considered as an effective strategy. We urge researchers to consider and judge at an early stage the implications of depositing materials containing confidential information and to get in touch<https://www.ukdataservice.ac.uk/help/get-in-touch/data-management.aspx> to consult on any issues.

I need to understand the underlying complexities, identify techniques which are practical and cost effective, and know how to apply these using appropriate software (which is hopefully open source). Any information, references, how to guides, comments on experiences and lessons learnt in this regard will be gratefully received.
