(Question prompted by today's very cool session at the David Rumsey Map Center)

Found one, although obviously what I'm really looking for is a high-res image to put on my wall royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

(This is the medium model and I think it's safe to say my standard-issue 2020 MacBook Pro can't handle it; small worked a lot better)

It's also picking some incredibly poignant lines to repeat

I'm very optimistic about my profession, I don't know what you mean

That's a great point. I think a similar experiment now might do better (researchers have taken more images and have more experience tagging--what's that app's name?) but in the current climate we'd probably be told to use AI instead of paying staff. Which might work a little, but not a lot.

I agree. I hope I didn't misrepresent Andrew's argument, but I think the risks of relying on vendors and external partnerships for infrastructure are pretty clear. We need more shared tools for building our own infrastructure and the money to pay in-house experts.

I'm inclined to agree. I took Andrew's point as more "If public institutions aren't given enough funding to build sustainable infrastructure, they'll have to find the money somewhere else, and this is one least-worst way." But I hope the BL attack inspires more public funding of infrastructure.

Thank YOU Laura! A wonderful session expertly moderated!

Hi Claire! No problem!

Andrew asks: Have we thought enough about digital disaster management plans? Something more nuanced than "let's shut everything down right away"? Laura says it's not just disaster management, but the management of inevitable digital change.

Folks are ideating a specialist Flickr/Wikimedia-like tool that facilitates easy tagging and description (integrated with institutions' online catalogues?), allows you to search across your own and others' research images, and isn't going to die or become very expensive in a few years' time.

Btw the Bodleian Flickr project is still available to access: www.flickr.com/groups/bodsp...
