Exeter Event To Showcase Fascinating Insights Into Digital Experts And Archivists' Work

The Exeter event will be held on November 9, 2024. It is part of the National Festival of Social Sciences and is a free event. It will include original documents and display artefacts to showcase the life and work of Clemo who became deaf and blind.

The participants of the event will be asked the question that how digitisation can help people to access his work.

“Digitisation isn’t always the answer when space is short in physical archives. It’s not just a case of taking a picture. We also have to consider what you lose and the different emotional responses when you digitise something – the feel and smell of a document or artefact. These are dilemmas people will be having in their own lives as they work out how to store photographs and letters – whether they need a physical copy or not,” said Organiser Sarah-Jayne Ainsworth.
