OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

The earliest surviving fragments of codices come from Egypt – there was a recent flurry over one that might date to the 3rd century CE. The ‘Crosby-Schøyen Codex’ recently came to market from the 3rd to 4th century CE; Codex Amiatinus is the oldest complete Vulgate Bible, from the 7th century CE and was made in Jarrow before it passed to Italy. Books last. What confidence can we have that they will continue to do so? Is Open Scholarship sustainable? What do we need to do to ensure it is? And why does it matter?
