Dear colleagues,
Please join the New England Archivists on Thursday, June 25 at 1:00pm EDT for a 90-minute webinar, Managing Digital Oral History in the Archive, with Douglas A. Boyd of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History in the University of Kentucky Libraries. Registration is open until June 23, and we welcome NEA members and non-members alike to participate.
This webinar will explore the distinctive challenges and opportunities of working with digital oral history collections. Drawing on decades of experience at the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History, Boyd will provide a concise but practical overview of how oral history differs from other archival materials in terms of accessioning, collection management, metadata, transcription, access, and preservation. Using examples and workflows developed at the Nunn Center, the webinar will explore machine-generated transcription and transcript authentication, enhancing discoverability through OHMS (Oral History Metadata Synchronizer), and emerging uses of AI in oral history archives.
View rates and register here!
Note that this webinar will not be recorded, so please plan to attend live.
