Subject: BT Digital Archives: Find out how you can use it and how we
made it happen
BT DIGITAL ARCHIVES: Come and Hear All About It
BT Heritage has been working with Coventry University and The National
Archives in a mass digitisation project to increase access hugely to
BT's archives.
The collection as a whole, recognised by UNESCO and Arts Council England
for its national and international significance, details the history of
Britain's leading role in the development of telecommunications and the
impact of this technology on society.
Funded by JISC the project has catalogued, digitised and developed the
next generation digital surrogates of almost half a million photographs,
images, documents and correspondence assembled by BT and its
predecessors over 165 years, and a core part of the overall archive.
We are hosting 2 FREE seminars: London and Coventry
At the seminars we will show you how we worked together to make this
happen, the challenges we faced when digitising the images and records,
and the ways we used innovative gaming technology to bring the digitised
archives to the public in an exciting new way.
Teachers, students, researchers and the general public in the UK and
overseas will have unprecedented access to our scientific and cultural
telecommunications heritage, enabling them to utilise the archive for
studies and leisure from anywhere in the world.
You'll learn about the work of the academics on the project team to
incorporate case studies on linguistics, problem -based learning
scenarios and design to enhance the learning experience of users.
