9:30-10:30 SAST (UTC +2)
Online event – further information and registration link
Nelson Mandela University and the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) present a seminar focusing on the pivotal role of librarians in Digital Humanities (DH) projects. This session will examine the tools, policies, and ethical challenges librarians face when digitising collections, and how they navigate the balance between technological innovation and responsible, sustainable practices.
Key topics will include the equipment and software essential for digitisation, developing and implementing policies for managing digital collections, understanding copyright and intellectual property rights, and ensuring long-term digital preservation. The seminar will also explore the ethical considerations involved in sharing and distributing digital resources, especially when dealing with sensitive or restricted materials.

Dr. Norah Karrouche, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL) gives a lecture ‘Can oral history data be FAIR? Lessons learnt from building a digital infrastructure for oral history in the Netherlands’ at the online seminar series Voices Unbound? Exploring new and/or possible directions in digital and experimental oral history. A lecture series co-organised by TU Darmstadt, University College London, Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) and the Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte. The series is convened by Julianne Nyhan (TU Darmstadt), Andrew Flinn, Andreas Vlachidis, and Marco Humbel (UCL), Shih-Pei Chen (Max Planck Institute), and Gerben Zaagsma (C²DH), offering an important way of keeping up to date with the methodological and theoretical state of the art in digital oral history. We invited speakers to present work on recent technological developments that may hold promise for digital oral history. In this way, the seminar series appeals to (digital) oral historians, digital humanists and scholars of the history of information, memory and knowledge systems.
