Dear All:
You are invited. And, kindly share this invitation to people you think
would be of interest.
*Azim Premji University is organising a symposium on 'Open access to
archives, to support humanities research in India'*
Archives, libraries, museums, and other institutions around the world
increasingly digitize their collections and provide web-wide access to them
to all users. New tools and standards have enabled such institutions
organising their digital collections in open repositories in a structured
way and providing seamless interoperability between the repositories. This
symposium will focus on maximizing access to the materials housed at
different archives in India which are primary sources of information for
humanities research, and the issues and possibilities in providing open
access to archival materials.
Date: 3 February 2021, Time: 3-5 PM
Kindly register: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_krs3C3t3T02OlpMvkFQplg
Host: Tarangini Sriraman, Azim Premji University
Digital archives and open access
By Maya Dodd
A focus on open access is much needed for the actualisation of knowledge
societies, and this is easily possible with digital archives. Such archives
especially afford the tools to catalogue and cross reference under-examined
narratives of community knowledge, and can kindle new ecosystems of
storytelling and inspired research in addition to academic study. These new
registers, created through digital technologies, often cross-question
official narratives and enable a multiplication of viewpoints, languages
and forms for the co-creation of public interest.
Toward an archival commons
By Venkat Srinivasan
Through examples of various kinds of archival objects, this talk will be an
attempt to perhaps state the obvious: that the production of knowledge is
heavily dependent on what enters these spaces we occupy for research. The
talk will bring out ideas from a recent art installation on the idea of an
archive, where we aimed to reflect on the very existence of the archival
object.
Venkat will also touch upon some archival resources in the field, obstacles
in getting archival material more broadly accessible and finally talk about
a new collective, Milli, that we are part of. Milli is building open source
tools for the public to find and annotate archival resources, along with
seeing narratives develop from them.

the material forms, the legal and cultural aspects of identification

and the implications of Aadhaar for urban poor subjects. OUP India
