Policies and Practices in Access to Digital Archives: Towards a New Research and Policy Agenda

Summer University 2012

Policies and Practices in Access to Digital Archives: Towards a New Research and Policy Agenda

This course is intended to serve as a bridge between archivists, curators, researchers, legal experts and policymakers whose work deals with digital records, cultural heritage collections and/or open data. Launching an itinerary to reform the political and statutory landscape by uniting the efforts of key stakeholders is one of the broad purposes of the course.

ARAB, Stockholm: Changes while we are preparing our move

Arbetarrörelsens arkiv och bibliotek / Labour Movement Archives and Library
Stockholm, Sweden

From the turn of the year (2011/2012) we are busy preparing our move. Our library department will be closed after February 3, while the archival department still is open, however by appointment only. Our door will be locked and no spontaneous visits are possible.

To enable us to work with our library collections we need to stop all check outs and to recall all materials in circulation. This includes interlibrary loans.

The Eric Fry Labour History Scholarship

The Canberra Region Branch of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (ASSLH) and the National Institute for Social Sciences and Law (NISSL) at the Australian National University (ANU) invite students doing honours or equivalent to apply for a $1,000 scholarship to do research at the Noel Butlin Archives Centre (NBAC), based at ANU in Canberra.

The aim of the scholarship is to assist a promising student, with an interest in labour history and/or the labour movement more generally, to overcome the financial obstacles to doing research in Canberra.

Information on Kurt Hubricht, esperantist freethinker

Dear Colleagues,

I am making researches on the link between the Esperanto movement and the Freethninker movement.

I found archives in the esperanto's libraries and different groups in the world.

But I search special information on a esperantist freethinker :

Kurt Hubricht (1890-) Leipzig (Germany)

In the esperanto's archives, he was still alive in 1932. But after, he disappears. We know that the Hitler power forbidden the esperantist worker association in 1932.

But I don't know if he was killed, in jail or in another country...
