The Bodleian Library online resource the John Johnson Collection: An Archive of Printed Ephemera was talked about on Radio 4’s Saturday Review (12 June 2010 from 21.00-30.00 mins through the programme). This will be available online on the BBC i-Player for a few days and to download as a podcast from the Saturday Review website. As well as the fascinating collection, the website itself and the mechanics of the search engine were talked-up – however the reviewers suggest that the website needs ‘a greatest hits’, which misses slightly the point of the curators’ choices blog and other essays. RunCoCo is on the board for another John Johnson Collection project, Mapping Crime, which we’ve blogged briefly about before.
