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.
Join us online on Thursday 13 February for ‘GLOBALISE: From Text to Context in the Dutch East India Company Archives’ with Kay Pepping, the latest talk in the Bodleian Bytes series, hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship at the Bodleian Libraries.
GLOBALISE uses digital tools such as Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and Named Entity Recognition (NER) to make the Dutch East India Company (VOC)‘s archives accessible and researchable on an unprecedented scale. In this talk, Kay Pepping demonstrates how opening up archival texts allows for contextualizing entities such as loanwords, people, and places to support new inquiries into colonial and global histories.
Free online event. Registration required.
