Re: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] AHDS funding

As two leading (dare I say) digital communities, I wonder if a coordinated approach from dm and dc might not also be useful?

Fwd: AHDS Petition (British Citizens or Residents only)
by Dot Porter 31 May '07

31 May '07

This petition should be of interest to British citizens/residents on the list. Dot ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Cummings <James.Cummings(a)oucs.ox.ac.uk> Date: May 31, 2007 9:46 AM Subject: AHDS Petition (British Citizens or Residents only) To: TEI-L(a)listserv.brown.edu Dear All, While I usually doubt the efficacy of such petitions, some of the British citizens or residents among you may be interested in the following petition: ====== http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/AHDSfunding/ On 11 May 2007, Professor Phillip Esler, Chief Executive of the AHRC, wrote to University Vice-Chancellors informing them of the Council's decision to withdraw funding from the AHDS after eleven years. The AHDS has pioneered and encouraged awareness and use among Britain's university researchers in the arts and humanities of best practice in preserving digital data created by research projects funded by public money. It has also ensured that this data remains publically available for future researchers. It is by no means evident that a suitable replacement infrastructure will be established and the AHRC appears to have taken no adequate steps to ensure the continued preservation of this data. The AHDS has also played a prominent role in raising awareness of new technologies and innovative practices among UK researchers. We believe that the withdrawal of funding for this body is a retrograde step which will undermine attempts to create in Britain a knowledge economy based on latest technologies. We ask the Prime Minister to urge the AHRC to reconsider this decision. ====== (feel free to circulate) -James -- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-9549 ##### Editorial Assistant, REVEAL Project Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments porter(a)vis.uky.edu ***************************************

-----Original Message----- From: The Digital Classicist List on behalf of OKELL E.R. Sent: Tue 01/05/2007 7:40 To: DIGITALCLASSICIST(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] Using Digital images? Let us know how... The Subject Centre for History, Classics and Archaeology is undertaking a survey, funded by the JISC Community Led Image Collections Digital Repositories Programme, to assess the current use and potential future development of the Archaeology Image Bank (http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/learning/image_bank/), including its potential integration into a wider linked network of digital repositories (e.g. classical artefacts, digitised manuscripts etc.). The attached questionnaire which is intended to capture basic data and also gather more detailed information about the ways in which our subject communities use digitally-sourced images and metadata, with particular reference to the Archaeology Image Bank, and will inform JISC in its decision-making regarding possible national initiatives to 'embed collections in the wider educational community to better provide access to high-quality educational image material' (http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ltg/projects/clic/ ). The questionnaire takes 10-15 minutes and full instructions for completion and submission, together with further details of the project, appear on the first page. Questionnaires submitted with contact details before 8th June will enter a prize draw (£50 Amazon voucher). Your time taken in filling out this questionnaire is very much appreciated by us, and we would like to thank you for contributing to the further development of digital teaching and learning in archaeology, classics and history.
