OxTalks is Changing
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.
Digital Scholarship coffee morning - Building an app to navigate 19th century Britain
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.
