Following on from Victoria Wood’s success at the Bafta awards for writing and starring in the drama Housewife, 49, the BBC have published an article on Mass Observation, including mention of the archive at the University of Sussex.

Review of 2006

Tuesday, December 19, 2006

It’s been an eventful year for the Archives Hub, so I thought I’d take this chance to select a few highlights.
Development work has been proceeding fast on the Spokes software. John Harrison (over in Liverpool), Jane and Steve have put a lot of energy into this and we’re also grateful to all the ‘early [...]

Gunpowder treason

Friday, November 3, 2006

The Parliamentary Archives have put together a great online exhibition for all ages in The Gunpowder Plot: Parliament & Treason 1605.
It featured today on BBC Radio 2 as Website of the Day, which rarely mentions our sector. The programme in question attracts an audience of 6.5 million people, so that’s quite a PR achievement.

Philip Pullman on libraries

Wednesday, March 29, 2006

There was a good promotional article on libraries and librarians in The Times on Saturday. Though I don’t think Philip realises quite how much librarians are involved in bringing information online and improving the quality of online information (not to mention providing online access within libraries).

Paying for publicly funded data

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

An interesting story in last week’s Guardian about the cost to the economy of buying back data which has been created using public money (OS maps, Highways Agency video feeds and so on). It contrasts the situation in the UK with that of the US, where this kind of data is available free of [...]
