On Friday, I was more than happy to attend as an advisory board member for the first board meeting of the University of Sussex’s Promiscuous Print research project. The website explains what it’s all about:-
A research project about what UK copyright libraries left out in the nineteenth century. Funded by the European Research Council. Hosted by the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab.
Led by Dr Hannah Field.
Dr Field is the principal investigator of PromPrint; she is an associate professor in Victorian literature at the University of Sussex. She’s joined by doctoral researcher, Tiffany Murphy, also at the University of Sussex, and two Digital Humanities scholars, Dr Nicolas Seymour-Smith and Dr Nicolas Seymour-Smith (also at Sussex).
It’s rather nice to have the opportunity to think about copyright libraries again. My own Claimed from Stationers Hall network feels quite a while ago now! (Remember?)
