Digitisation projects involve constant risk assessment. Collections w/ complex copyright are often shelved in favour of 19thC “easy” collections. This is concerning as it skews public perception of what we hold and value. Essentially 20thC collections remain largely invisible.

The Terry and Sherrie Thorne collection was processed and digitized by a group of students at the @UBCiSchool and we are so happy to finally have added it to our digital collections. Check it out! https://t.co/EdCR7BkqCX

GLAMs fulfill the invaluable mission of making #CulturalHeritage available for the public to access, use & re-use. But sometimes, that mission can conflict with the rights & interests of the #Indigenous communities that are the guardians of their heritage. https://t.co/6y65rPuaI2

Today the pilot version of a new #OpenAccess platform for sharing research, led by @britishlibrary, has been launched! We are thrilled to be part of the first small group of Independent Research Organisations to share research on the platform: https://t.co/dH4EkQoR8Q

https://t.co/UI0Y7ZifYu Hooray! The metadata list of newspaper titles held by @britishlibrary I've been working on is now available for download on the public beta of the new research repository. We'll be adding new datasets to the news collection over time, so watch this space!

A key theme to the "Digitization Strategies in Canada" session: Leveraging and sharing knowledge.
It can mean working with your user community or, as a digitizer, in sharing your expertise with the community! At the local, regional, and national levels. #cdnhist #crkn19rcdr
