This morning on 2SER Breakfast with Tim Higgins, Dictionary Chair Lisa Murray talked about History Week, an event organised by the History Council of NSW that has been running for some 13 years. If you've been reading along this week you would know the theme for History Week this year is Picture This. Tonight Lisa will be speaking on a panel at the Australian National Maritime Museum called From Glass Plate to Cyber Space. The panel will be discussing how cultural institutions are using digital communities to share photographic collections and unlock the past. Through our community partnerships and readers, the Dictionary has access to a wealth of stunning images from Sydney’s past. Every so often, one of these strikes a chord with our readers and the conversations that follow are fascinating and revealing. Tomorrow we will revisit one of those images and the stories that emerged after our post. --- From Glass Plate to Cyber Space 6-8pm Wed 11 September Book tickets online @ANMMuseum #picturethis Tonight's panel includes: Paula Bray, Manager of the Visual and Digitisation Services department at the Powerhouse Museum, Geoff Hinchcliffe, Director of Digital Library Services and CIO at the State Library of New South Wales, Lisa Murray, City Historian at the City of Sydney, Bernard de Broglio, Web Manager at the City of Sydney and Mitchell Whitelaw, Associate Professor leading the Master of Digital Design in the Faculty of Arts and Design at the University of Canberra. --
