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 digital scholarship coffee gathering – tea and coffee will be provided. At this session we’ll have a short talk from Yannik Herbert, DPhil student at Corpus Christi College, Oxford:
What would it look like if modern navigation apps had existed 200 years ago? This talk explores the process of digitising historical itineraries and travellers’ guides into modern transit data standards, and writing software for visualising these historical networks and understanding historical mobility by bringing 19th century stage-coaches to life.
These will be held in the Visiting Scholars Centre, so to attend you’ll need to bring your Bodleian Card and to leave your bags in the lockers – this event is only open to University staff and students.
