Dear Colleagues,

 

We are pleased to invite you to the second LUSTRE workshop organised by the AHRC-funded project Unlocking our Digital Past with Artificial Intelligence. 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.

 

Through a series of talks and a round table, this day long workshop continues the discussion on the challenges and opportunities that AI offers to the management and use of digital archives in the government sector and beyond.

 

The workshop will be a hybrid event (in London and online) on Thursday 4 May.
