We made a trip to @durham-university.bsky.social for #DCDC25. Among the many panels was an incredible keynote speech by the co-founders of the National HIV Story Trust, set up to film, record and preserve the history of those affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 90s. #NHST 🧵 1/4

I don’t realise how disabled I am day to day in my ordinary life because I have put in place aids to make it easier but stepping out of the box into live conference definitely brings it home!
I am also much deafer than I really realised I think… Perhaps time to pick up learning BSL again… #dcdc25

Home at the end of #dcdc25! Fab to meet several people in person who I’ve been emailing/tweeting with for years and nice to catch up with other local colleagues too. But also exhausting so now for a lie down… 🤣

Advice for teaching in archives and special collections - keep it simple, be enthusiastic and draw contemporary parallels (relevance). Good practical way to end #DCDC25

Had a lovely first trip to Durham for the #DCDC25 conference, including the fantastic #HIVstory keynote.
The cathedral isn’t too shabby either…

Massive thank you to organisers & delegates #DCDC25 for a great few days of thought-provoking & inspiring conversations, & to everyone who popped by my poster. Now to embark on my last nostalgia wander as I drag my tired self up to the station. I’m sure Durham’s hills didn’t used to be so steep

Close-up of a page from a historic book, backlit in an exhibition case, showing the title and first page of Shakespeare’s The Tempest
The Shakespeare’s First Folio exhibition @ducollections.bsky.social Cosin’s Library is beautifully done #DCDC25 & the story of its theft & recovery is strange and compelling. More in this 2010 documentary. Tragically the man convicted later took his own life in prison m.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6Q...

Dr Danielle Westerhof invites us to remember or imagine being unfamiliar with - for example - archives catalogues and am remembering ordering a whole series when I meant to order an item in one of my few attempts to be an archives user 🫢 #DCDC25

Why is someone from a dentist school at an archive conference? Fascinating case of how to explore and digitise unopened letterlocked papers from the Court of Ward and Liveries without disrupting them (or making them radioactive... always a good plan methinks!) #DCDC25

The tower of Durham cathedral from the cloisters
Thought I'd best follow the advice I always give postgrads and take a brief recharge break at #dcdc25 - Durham cathedral as inspiring as ever. Now for the final two sessions!

It’s good to be in a Machine Learning session and hear about how “AI” tools can hugely enhance and inform research and practice. Georgia Tolfo (TNA) is also keen to acknowledge the lived experience that sits behind the data #DCDC25

Different coloured pipe cleaners, and fidget items.
Love a session with pipe cleaners! But a serious purpose to having fidget items as part of #DCDC25 Longtable: Embracing Neurodivergence

Inspiring keynote at #DCDC25 from Professor Katy Shaw on co-creation and innovation and the need for more inclusive models. Innovation and ideas can come from anywhere but we need the collaborative leadership and funding models to support radically inclusive change.
