[open-humanities] Fwd: Research databases in the humanities - where next? A half-day workshop, 21st January, 2011

Mon Jan 24 19:37:47 UTC 2011

Hi Jonathan,

As a follow up, I've posted some reflections on the event on my blog:
http://austgate.co.uk/2011/01/research-databases-in-the-humanities/

Personally I found some useful things to think about regarding archiving 
data once funding ends.
