do: Trails, tours and technology in the University’s museums

This do: talk is a combined talk about some of the recent projects undertaken by staff at GLAM (the University’s Gardens, Libraries and Museums), using technology to make the collections more accessible to more diverse audiences and disabled visitors. The Joint Museums Education Service has been working with the RNIB to introduce tours for blind and partially sighted people and help them engage with objects through audio description; the Pitt Rivers Museum is inviting volunteers to write new interpretations of its collections via a new app platform (http://oxfordstories.ox.ac.uk); and finally, Out in Oxford, is the University’s first cross-collections trail and GLAM’s first LGBTQ+ project (www.glam.ox.ac.uk/outinoxford), which is available in both paper and – soon – digital form.
