The Annual Digital Lecture audio series

Exploration of digital ideas is an important part of our archival work. The Annual Digital Lecture offers the opportunity to hear from leading speakers on a topic related to digital research and practice, in addition to highlighting some of the innovative digital work happening at The National Archives.

The latest Annual Digital Lecture was delivered by the co-founder of Identity 2.0 on ‘Memory Making in a Digital Age’, which explored our changing understanding of memory and how digital spaces can be used centre care. If you haven’t already, you can watch the recording here.

Building on discussions from the lecture, we wanted to explore how ‘care’ is a part of the innovative digital work happening at The National Archives. In each episode we’ll have a conversation with colleagues across a range of departments and teams who’ll lend their expertise to talk about how the digital and care intersect in their everyday work – from care for our records through preservation and processes, to care for the people who work with and use our records, join us to reflect and look to the future.
