On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.

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.
