+ What should be in your Digital Toolbox? Conference on 10 October 2016
The Linnean Society of London (one of READ’s MOU partners), in collaboration with the Transcribe Bentham initiative at University College London (UCL), is hosting a one-day conference on 10 October 2016.
The “Digital Toolbox” conference will showcase how innovative technology is being applied to the humanities and natural sciences. It promises to demonstrate how researchers, curators and enthusiasts can use digital tools to explore historical and scientific material in new ways.
