On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for a ‘listen, print, sing’ and learn about the Bodleian’s collections of missionary archives, tonic sol-fa, and printing.
A talk will explore examples of printing and archival materials from East and southern Africa that illustrate the use of printing and tonic sol-fa in nineteenth-century missionary work.
Participants will learn to print the music of a hymn in Tonic sol-fa and then have a go at singing through it.
The session is led by Philip Burnett, University of York, and Bodleian staff. All levels of ability are welcome. Booking is essential as spaces are limited.
