Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Central Archive for Mathematics Bequests was established in 1992, based on an agreement between the German Mathematical Society and the Göttingen State and University Library. It was built upon the rich inventory that was created from collections of documents, manuscripts, and other archival resources, donated as bequests (Nachlässe) to Göttingen’s university library. For example, the Nachlässe of Abraham Gotthelf Kästner, Tobias Mayer, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and Bernhard Riemann as well as the so-called Mathematiker-Archiv, an archival collection of papers of notable mathematicians started by Felix Klein, were already present in Göttingen. Today, the archive houses a vast collection of documents and archival material of more than 60 mathematicians.
In this talk, I will address present activities at the archive and will provide some examples in order to give an impression of the value of the vast collection for the history of mathematics. Moreover, I will share some ideas on future projects.
