Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce a public event with the creators, supporters and librarians of numerous international text archive platforms who are visiting our city. These include Aaaaarg<http://aaaaarg.fail/>, Memory of the World <http://library.memoryoftheworld.org/> and Open Media Library<http://www.openmedialibrary.com/#about> and several individuals who are part of Custodians Online <http://custodians.online/> solidarity, among others.
Bodo Balasz and Lawrence Liang will open the event with a comparative account of the infrastructures and motivations of such 21st century archival initiatives. This is also in the context of a collective effort that would be needed to scan, share and build online repositories so much needed in our own city.
Do join us!
This is the concluding event of Architectures of Knowledge, a two-part meeting organised in collaboration with Columbia's Group for Experimental Methods in the Humanities<http://xpmethod.plaintext.in/>; a two-day workshop on book scanning and managing collections that took place at CAMP<http://studio.camp/event.php?this=scanner> and a two-day meeting at TISS.<http://xpmethod.plaintext.in/events/dissent.html>
Also attached is a children's book by KG Subramanyan, "Our Friends, the Ogres", 1985, that was photographed and ocr'd during the workshop. Happy reading.
We hope to see you tomorrow.
