Library Juice AcademyCritical Digital Archives - Library Juice AcademyThis course explores a critical approach to major topics in digital archives, including: selection for digitization; reparative description; responsible open data; digital library software; and instruction. This course pulls from the instructor's first-hand experience with a wide variety of critically-engaged cultural heritage projects, they are a co-founder of Mapping Trans Joy, director of Solidarity History, past organizer of the #LDLasData Speaker Series and founding co-editor of the Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship. The schedule of the course will be flexible to meet the needs and interests of the students. We will prioritize creating spaces of respect and appreciation for the work of our colleagues, and we will approach all critiques from a place of honest attempts for a healthier, more inclusive profession and practice.

"[Suzanne Isaacs, a community manager with the National Archives Catalog in Washington, D.C.] is part of the team that coordinates the more than 5,000 Citizen Archivists helping the Archive read and transcribe some of the more than 300 million digitized objects in its catalog. And they're looking for volunteers with an increasingly rare skill."

Out of the many things that I love about my job, one of them is that I get to have deep discussions with experts from not just #academia as we work towards building communities of practice. Today, in our Expert Dialogues session for the Digitization project, I learnt so much about human-centered design and design-thinking, something they never taught me when I was a computer science engineering undergrad.

One of the consortium members shared that they'd built this really beautiful app for a rural community in #India, spent a few crore INR in the process, and then no one ended up using it! 😬 I'm glad they are a member of this consortium and were willing to share this so that we don't make the same mistakes! Also learnt that while community members may answer positively to all your survey questions, that doesn't mean they'll actually use whatever digital solution you build - you need to embed yourself within the community and engage in dialogues to get to the crux of the problems they face.

Two of our PhD Fellows are working in the Himalayan region and during the meeting were facing bandwidth issues. Something we definitely need to keep in mind - if we want to design a solution for communities with limited internet connectivity.

Did you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.

The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.

First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.

Smartphones allow us to snap pictures instantly and send them to whoever we like, but memories from decades ago still remain locked in the form of analog slides, undeveloped negatives and printed pictures. Luckily, digitizing allows us to unlock those forgotten moments in time.

I captured one of the Signs Of The Zodiac releases, Aries, from a reel-to-reel 7.5 IPS release. Unfortunately this capture is both flawed and incomplete, however the quality is very nice despite the flaws.

This is spoken word album about the Aries zodiac sign, with background electronic music by Mort Garson.
