Digitale Historier – Historien om retrodigitaliseringen på Det Kgl. Bibliotek
No full textStarten på den digitale transformation af bibliotekssektoren kan spores tilbage til 1970’erne, og i 1980’erne begyndte retrodigitalisering af bibliotekernes kataloger. I 1990’erne fulgte retrodigitalisering af de fysiske samlinger, og senere indsamling af elektronisk fødte materialer. Hvor digitaliseringen af kataloger lettede fremsøgning af materialer og forvaltningsmæssige processer, så markerede retrodigitaliseringen starten på en mere fundamental transformation i brugen af samlinger. Retrodigitaliseringen af de fysiske samlinger har tilvejebragt helt nye muligheder for forskning og formidling, samtidig med at brugen i mange tilfælde er gjort uafhængig af adgang på de fysiske læsesale. Retrodigitaliseringen ophæver mange af den fysiske verdens begrænsninger for brugen af samlingerne på tværs af geografi og materialemæssige skel. Digitaliseringen kommer dog med en pris. Meget store dele af de fysiske samlinger er ikke digitaliseret, og digitaliseringen risikerer derfor at marginalisere de fysiske samlinger, da brugen er ressourcekrævende. De valg, som bliver taget i forbindelse med udvælgelse af materialer til digitalisering, har således stor betydning for hvilke materialer der er til rådighed. Imidlertid er det som bruger af Det Kgl. Biblioteks samlinger vanskeligt at danne sig et overblik over de valg og fravalg, samt tekniske og juridiske muligheder som ligger til grund for udvælgelsen af materialer. Brugerne efterspørger, med rette, transparente kriterier for prioritering af værker og samlinger til digitalisering og dermed også begrundelser for fravalg. Meget af denne information eksisterer kun internt i organisationen og den er ikke veldokumenteret.Med dette oplæg ønsker vi at undersøge hvordan retrodigitalisering på Det Kgl. Bibliotek som et udtryk for den digitale transformation af bibliotekssektoren har udviklet sig over tid, og hvordan skiftende tekniske og forvaltningsmæssige forhold har påvirket de retrodigitaliserede samlinger som i dag er tilgængelige på de digitale bibliotekshylder

The Potentials and Challenges for Researchers and Web Archives Using the Persistent Web IDentifier (PWID)
No full textIn order for researchers to live up to good research practice, we need to be able to make persistent references to contents in web archives. In some cases, different types of Persistent Identifiers can be used. However, for web archive pages or element references, which needs to be resolvable for more than 50 years, the Persistent Web IDentifier (PWID) is often the best choice. Many referencing guidelines or standards recommend that references to web archives should be made via an archived URL. This is a challenge not only for closed web archives, but also for web archives that change addresses for their web archive data. For instance, this happened when the Irish web archive migrated their holdings from an Internet Memory Foundation (IMF) platform (http://collection.europarchive.org/nli/) to an Archive-IT web archive service (https://archive-it.org/home/nli). It will also be the case for web archives changing archive URLs due to changes related to the Wayback machine.The PWID resolves many of the known issues with common identifiers as it is based on basic web archive metadata; web archive, archival time of web element, archived URL of web element and precision or inherited interpretation of the PWID, like page or part/file. Thus, once the web archive is identified, the archival time and archived URL can be used to find the resource since these metadata are present in WARC. Finally, the information about interpretation/precision of the resource can be used as a means to choose manifestation of the page and access to the resource. This means that resolving of a PWID does not rely on a separate registry of the contents of a web archive (which can be huge), since the WARC metadata can be indexed (e.g. in CDX or SOLR) and this index will be able to support the resolving. Furthermore, the design of the PWID has been based on bridge building between digital humanity researchers, web archivist, persistent identifier experts, Internet experts etc. in order to meet requirements of being human readable, persistent, technology agnostic, global, algorithmically resolvable and accepted as an URN.Using the PWID, researchers will gain a way to persistently address web elements in a sustainable way. The web archives can benefit from the PWID, too, both in regards to the implementation of support for researchers, and in creation of the web archive when there are several manifestations of a web page. For example, the British Library web archive uses the PWID when archiving snapshots of web pages. Furthermore, since a PWID URN is a URI, it can be used as URI identifier as is e.g. required for WARC identifiers. The PWID can become even more useful for researchers when is incorporated in reference tools like Zotero etc.The presenters will discuss their different perspectives as researcher within the humanities and as computer scientist and web archivist. The presentation will cover challenges and experiences from each perspective as well as future potentials in support and through expansion of the PWID URN definition.<br/
Mongolian and Siberian Shamans:Costumes and Paraphernalia at the National Museum of Denmark
No full textRezension Anna-Elisabeth Jensen, Freunde und Feinde. Dania Slavica. Südseeland, Lolland-Falster und Møn in der Wikingerzeit und im Hochmittelalter. University Press, Aarhus 2023.
No full textThe book is a German translation of the author's publication "Dania Slavica - Sydsjælland, Lolland-Falster og Møn i vikingetid og tidlig middelalder" from 2022. From around AD 750 to 1250, the three islands Lolland, Falster and Møn were an important buffer zone in the struggles for economic and political control of the western Baltic, and thus also a zone of close contact between Slavic and Scandinavian culture. In a cross-disciplinary approach, the author combines historical sources with analyses of the physical landscape and the archaeological evidence
Facts and imagination – the uses of history and the credibility of museums
No full textThis article discusses a somewhat controversial exhibition at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, The Royal Series at Kronborg Castle – Facts and Imagination with Jim Lyngvild and Poul Grinder- Hansen, which opened at Kronborg Castle in April 2021. The authors contributed to the exhibition’s content and form, Signe Lykke Littrup as curator and project manager, senior researcher Poul Grinder-Hansen as historical co-creator of the exhibition’s content in text, speech, and film. The article is built around experiences from the exhibition, methodological and theoretical considerations about its communication skills and quotes from interviews with guests who visited the exhibition in the summer and autumn of 2021. The article concludes that a cultural-historical exhibition can, through the conscious use of both contemporary and ancient works of art in a dialogue-based form, involve guests and create considerations about the conditions for the uses of the past in storytelling
