Historic Newspapers in the Digital Age: 'Search All About It'
No full textIn recent years, cultural institutions and commercial providers have created extensive digitised newspaper collections. This book asks the timely question: what can the large-scale digitisation of newspapers tell us about the wider cultural phenomenon of mass digitisation? The unique form and materiality of newspapers, and their grounding in a particular time and place, provide challenges for researchers and digital resource creators alike. At the same time, the wider context in which digitisation of cultural heritage occurs shapes the impact of digital resources in ways which fall short of the grand ambitions of the wider theoretical discourse. Drawing on case studies from leading digitised newspaper collections, the book aims to provide a bridge between the theory and practice of how these digitised collections are being used. Beginning with an exploration of the hyperbolic nature of technological discourses, the author explores how web interfaces, funding models and the realities of contemporary user behaviour, contrast with the hyperbolic discourse surrounding mass digitisation. This book will be of particular interest to those who want to investigate how user studies can inform our understanding of technological phenomena, including digital resource creators, information professionals, students and researchers in universities, libraries, museums and archives

Will You Let Me Have That Letter
No full textThe chapter begins by outlining the nature of imprisonment in prisons with both male and female inmates. Portsmouth, which was one such prison, was where Rose Gooding was remanded and then served her sentence. On her release, the obscene letters started up again. Her family followed a ruse to give her an alibi: Gooding spent two weeks in Lewes while everyone else in the family ostentatiously pretended she was still at home, hoping that the author of the libels continued to write them without realizing that Gooding was away. In the trial that took place after Edith Swan launched a new prosecution, Gooding’s new barrister failed to prove the alibi. Appearing this time before Mr Justice Avory, a veteran criminal lawyer, she was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment.</p
