Dear DM-l'ers,
Just a quick reminder about the one day conference we are having at the OTA to celebrate the archive's 30th Birthday (1976-2006). We have a number of wonderful speakers lined up for this free event. I remind you of it now because there are really only a few places left. If you were intending to come but hadn't got around to registering, then you should do so quickly! Registration is by an email to OTA30@ota.ox.ac.uk with your name and email address. If you have not received a message confirming your registration, then you are not registered.

You are all cordially invited to the Oxford Text Archive's 30th Birthday Celebration! This is a one day conference on electronic text archives and humanities computing, to be held Thursday 21st September 2006, at the Oxford University Computing Services, University of Oxford, 13 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6NN. Although the event is free, registration through an email to OTA30@ota.ox.ac.uk is required to limit numbers. Speakers include:
* Lou Burnard on "Autolycus wired: three decades of snapping up unconsidered trifles" * Alan Morrison on "From dustbin policy to data service" * Julia Flanders on "Historicizing humanities computing" * Edward Vanhoutte on "Electronic scholarly editing" * Claire Warwick on "A Dubious Legacy: Problems of the re-use of data for digital humanities research" * Willard McCarty on "Smell of food on the wind, then and now"
In addition there will be a discussion led by a panel of experts on the future of electronic text archives.
Those who register via email will eventually be sent a more detailed programme once all the details are set in stone. Abstracts for the above papers are available from: http://ota.ox.ac.uk/OTA30/index.html
There will be cake.
For more information or to register email OTA30@ota.ox.ac.uk

That was quick! We have now filled up our remaining spaces and are operating a waiting-list. If anyone has registered who now knows that they are unable to attend, please let us know on OTA30@ota.ox.ac.uk
Thanks, James
