> Evaluators required: Edwardians Online (Qualidata) Pilot Resource
>
> Qualidata, as part of its ongoing initiative to improve access to and
> promote the re-use of archived qualitative data, has developed Edwardians
> Online, an online digital resource that provides content-based access to a
> collection of oral history interviews with people who lived in Edwardian
> Britain.
> The interviews were undertaken in the early 1970s as part of Professor
> Paul Thompson's study of Edwardian society, and form the basis for
> Thompson's, The Edwardians, The Remaking of British Society, (1975, 1992).
> The 444 interviews were originally recorded on audio tapes and later
> transcribed as typed, paper documents and these original study materials
> have been archived, catalogued and disseminated by Qualidata.
> Phase I of this project has been to design and create an online pilot
> resource that integrates a wealth of existing primary and secondary
> materials, featuring:
> * a catalogue of 444 interview summaries
> * 5 full electronic interview transcripts
> * thematic browsing of interview transcripts
> * a collection of digital sound clips
> * a set of contextual images of Edwardian life
> * background information and press reviews on the original study
> * details of publications based upon secondary studies of the
> collection
> * an account of the digitization methodology
>
> If you would like to undertake a simple online evaluation exercise looking
> at the functionality and content made available in the Edwardians Online
> pilot resource, please visit
