Massive thank you to organisers & delegates #DCDC25 for a great few days of thought-provoking & inspiring conversations, & to everyone who popped by my poster. Now to embark on my last nostalgia wander as I drag my tired self up to the station. I’m sure Durham’s hills didn’t used to be so steep

It has been great to have the opportunity to share the story of @britrecs.bsky.social with colleagues from the GLAM sector over the past couple of days. Looking forward to Day 3 of #dcdc25 - and a gentle snooze on the train home later! #archives #trustee

Inspiring keynote at #DCDC25 from Professor Katy Shaw on co-creation and innovation and the need for more inclusive models. Innovation and ideas can come from anywhere but we need the collaborative leadership and funding models to support radically inclusive change.

It’s good to be in a Machine Learning session and hear about how “AI” tools can hugely enhance and inform research and practice. Georgia Tolfo (TNA) is also keen to acknowledge the lived experience that sits behind the data #DCDC25

Thought I'd best follow the advice I always give postgrads and take a brief recharge break at #dcdc25 - Durham cathedral as inspiring as ever. Now for the final two sessions!

Why is someone from a dentist school at an archive conference? Fascinating case of how to explore and digitise unopened letterlocked papers from the Court of Ward and Liveries without disrupting them (or making them radioactive... always a good plan methinks!) #DCDC25

Dr Danielle Westerhof invites us to remember or imagine being unfamiliar with - for example - archives catalogues and am remembering ordering a whole series when I meant to order an item in one of my few attempts to be an archives user 🫢 #DCDC25
