We've just crossed a big item off our #digitalpreservation to-do list: migrating over 3,000 digitized items from our old Luna platform to https://t.co/d8SVN9kObL.

We will be holding informal office hours at the #saa18 conference hotel bar from 5:00 to 6:30, so drop by if you’d like to talk about crowdsourcing archival transcription on @_FromThePage_

Birkbeck's Prof Matthew Davies leads new online map project that lets users peel back London’s streets to trace its changes over the past 500 years. 'Layers of London' reveal lost fields, open rivers & debtor prisons in what are now dense urban streets. https://t.co/EcM0GvHFp5

@hchesner Oops, I missed this notification! But I can see that you've gotten a lot of good advice. I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been suggested :)

Yes yes yes. I'm sad it has to be even said at this point. https://t.co/SVGKSk5JNu

The assertion that interacting with an object (rare book) and its digital surrogate can be, in any way, equivalent seems prima facie false.

No amount of digitization can ever replicate the experience of handling, touching, and using an object.

The stand-alone slide with The Caswell Test on it -- from my talk, "Invisible in 'The Archive'" at #kzoo2018 -- is now available via @binghamtonu's institutional repository, thanks to the every-fabulous @iamabooknerd of @bulibraries (Thanks, Amy!)

What happens when scholars in the humanities try to build an app? #QMHistory and @theUL partnered to find out. @sparkyc84 reflects on the event: https://t.co/o1KR2BnLvm
