During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The presentation will explore the role of the Indian Telegraph Department, the British Post Office, and
capital concerns like the Marconi International Marine Communication and Lloyds, exposing their mutual rivalries
in attempting to create a viable wireless network. The Marconi archive at the Bodleian throws light on
how the Marconi Company promoted itself in this region, and reveals how certain parts of India not directly
under British control may have tried to modernize themselves along the lines of the colonial state.
