| Title |
Things that matter 2025 |
| Description |
“Things that Matter” addresses the tension between sources' materiality and digitization.
The recent advances in digital technology have created new modes of reproduction
and forms of consumption that have substantially reshaped the concepts of ‘object’ and of ‘collection’ at the heart of cultural institutions such as libraries and museums.
This preparatory course engages with critical questions arising from studying the past in the digital age. These issues include the changing nature of objects such as books and scientific instruments as source materials, the history and practice of collections and collecting digitization, and technological and intellectual challenges.
“Things that Matter” maps the possibilities and challenges the digital age poses for researchers. The ongoing process of digitization makes sources of the past available to a previously unknown extent, but what does this mean for researchers?
In the course, we will create a virtual exhibition based on objects from your University library/University collection. Furthermore, we will tackle questions of using OMEKA-S as a virtual means to present exhibits online.
Please be advised: The course requires participating online with international partners (in Groningen, Durham, Uppsala, and Tübingen).
--> The language of the course (at least within the hybrid parts) is going to be English.
--> The course can be taken independently from the summer school. |
