This is an online event.

In this workshop you are invited to experiment with digital technology to add knowledge and stories to the fascinating and unique Terry Pratchett Archive, held at Senate House Library. Explore rare letters, books, illustrations, objects and other items from the digitised Pratchett collection while you tag and describe them. You will be adding information using the simple and fun multi-media and knowledge sharing platform Scalar.

No previous knowledge of Terry Pratchett, his work or Scalar are required for this workshop. It will be led by digital humanities experts Christopher Ohge (Institute of English Studies) and James Cummings (Newcastle University) along with Senate House Library’s Head of Special Collections, Maria Castrillo.

For the Being Human festival, Senate House Library and the Institute of English Studies will also be hosting ‘Magical Mind: The World of Terry Pratchett’ on Tuesday 17 November between 18:00 and 19:00. This event requires separate booking.
