OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Join Mélodie Doumy (British Library) and Luk Yu-ping (British Museum) for a lecture focusing on the digital discovery of manuscripts, paintings, prints, textiles and other objects discovered in Dunhuang and sites in northwest China, dating mainly from the 5th to 11th centuries, now held in the British Library and the British Museum. The Bodleian Libraries preserve the extensive manuscript notes, diaries and archaeological fieldnotes of Sir Marc Aurel Stein who collected this material in the early 20th century. By bringing together curatorial experts from separately held yet interconnected collections and archives, the lecture will offer an overview of the Stein Collection’s formation, its dispersal across different institutions, and the scope of the items involved.
The Digital East Asia Lectures are co-hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship and the Asian and Middle Eastern Collections at the Bodleian Libraries. Registration is required.
