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
Join us for a hybrid session with Dr Victoria Phillips as we explore the possibilities of mining government and online databases to uncover valuable information for life-writing subjects. From tracking historical figures to discovering untold narratives, this workshop will equip participants with practical strategies and insights for using archival resources effectively in their research.
Dr Victoria Phillips (Columbia University) is the author of Martha Graham’s Cold War: The Dance of American Diplomacy and serves as a Visiting Fellow at OCLW. She is also a Global Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC, where she co-directs the Cold War Archival Research Institute.No prior reading or preparation is required, but attendees joining in person are encouraged to bring their own laptops.
This is a hybrid event that is free and open to all. Registration is Required.
