The RunCoCo project has been diverted from this blog with our own community collections: Woruldhord, Erster Weltkrieg in Alltagsdokumenten – and with preparing for our forthcoming conference Beyond 2011: Crowdsourcing for public engagement. However I felt RunCoCo must briefly point to this excellent programme from David S. Ferriero the Archivist of the United States: ‘Are you in? Crowdsourcing and Citizen Archivist’ who is joined by the panel:
- Jessica Zelt, the North American Bird Phenology Program from the US Geological Survey,
- Matthew Knutzen, the Map Warper Project from the New York Public Library,,
- Darla Adams, the Ancestry.com World Archives Project.
The discussion is chaired by Meredith Stewart (National Archives).
The full hour is available to watch on YouTube, and on the blog of the Archivist – ‘AOTUS: the Collector in Chief’.
We look forward to more inspiration from Beyond 2011…
