Help me turn the State Library Victoria's digitised maps into data!

As part of my residency at the SLV LAB, I've been experimenting with using Allmaps and @IIIF to georeference the Library's maps. Georeferencing relates a digitised map to real world […]

[Original post on hcommons.social]
Screenshot of a webpage headed "Georeferencing maps from the State Library of Victoria". The page includes an image of a historic map overlaid on a modern digital basemap, and a big blue button that invites visitors to "View the project dashboard to see the latest progress". The introductory text reads: "This is an experimental project developed during my time as Creative Technologist-in-Residence at the SLV LAB. While playing around with IIIF and AllMaps, I wondered if it might be possible to connect a few things up and make it easy for people to georeference SLV's digitised maps. This is the result!".

Australian writers shocked and ‘disgusted’ by closure of 85-year-old literary journal Meanjin
Meanjin published the cream of Australia’s writers. With its sudden closure, a vital, 85-year thread of our cultural conversation will fall silent.

Number 3 in 49.3 - in a time of international student debates, Song and Spencer take us back to the first Korean international student in the 1920s, illustrating the importance of student mobility for people-to-people #diplomacy.

Screenshot of journal article. Title: From Colonial Korea to White Australia: Hoyul Kim, Australia’sFirst Korean International Student, 1921–1925. Authors: Jay Song, ANU, and Louise Spencer, University of Melbourne. Abstract: This article uncovers the life of Hoyul Kim, the first Korean international student who lived in Australia from 1921 to 1925. It sheds light on the role of the Presbyterian Church in both colonial Korean and White Australian contexts. The article draws on archival research from the National Archives of Australia, the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, the Scotch College in Melbourne and the University of Melbourne to document Kim’s activities in Australia. The bilingual team uses both Korean- and English-language materials on Kim. We argue that, in spite of the colonial and racially motivated state barriers to international student mobility in the 1920s, Kim managed to travel to Australia and gain an overseas education. Kim’s story contributes to a little-known history of Korea–Australia relations that runs much deeper than formal state relations. Kim’s story illustrates that bilateral relations are shaped by people-to-people encounters that encompass shared values of religion and education via transnational migration.
