During the lunch hour, the University of London Press will be holding a drop-in session with the series editors of their new Digital Cultural Heritage book series:
Description: At the University of London Press we are passionate advocates for the humanities – a collaborative, non-profit and predominantly open access publishing partner for researchers and institutions. We are pleased to announce the details of our new book series, Digital Cultural Heritage, with series editors Dr Eirini Goudarouli (The National Archives), Dr Anna-Maria Sichani (School of Advanced Study) and Professor Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study). This open access series of concise, short-form publications will be a forum for exploring the past, present and future of digital cultural heritage, both digitised and born-digital.
We are actively inviting new proposals for short-form books (20,000–30,000 words) that interrogate digital cultural heritage in any form, and focus on one or more of the series’ key themes: use, access, value(s) and ephemerality. More details can be found on the series webpage. There will also be the opportunity to meet the series editors who will be holding an informal drop-in session about the series at the UoL Press book stand at the conference during Friday lunchtime at 12–1pm.
