About five years ago I created a collection of full-page editorial cartoons from The Bulletin, harvested from #Trove. Through a process that might be politely described as ‘iterative’, I fiddled with an assortment of queries and methods until I had at least one cartoon from every issue published between 4 September 1886 and 17 September 1952 – 3,471 cartoons in total.
"…a November judgment from the UK Court of Appeal means #museums can’t go on claiming #copyright in photographs of #publicdomain art works.

John La Rose was born in Trinidad and was a poet, essayist, publisher, filmmaker, trade unionist, and cultural and political activist. In 1966, with his partner, Sarah White, he set up one of the first Black British bookshops in the UK, New Beacon Books. His wide-ranging contribution to the struggle for racial equality and social justice, as well as cultural change, is unparalleled in the history of the black experience in Britain.

Not to be missed!
Wie können Provenienzforschende in Museen, Archiven, Bibliotheken oder privaten Sammlungen mit freien und offenen Projekten wie #Wikidata, #Wikibase oder #Wikipedia Kulturdaten organisieren, vernetzen und zugänglich machen?
Darum ging es bei „Provenance Loves Wiki“ in Praxis-Inputs und rund 15 Barcamp-Sessions in zwei Tagen.
📢 Am Donnerstag, 25.01.24 | 14:00 -15:30 Uhr, möchten wir auf unser Projekt #GLAM goes #OpenData zurückblicken:
