Here is a record of the tweets, and a couple of pics, from tonight’s “Digitisation is the death of history” debate<\/a> from Curtin University tonight. If the embedded widget looks a bit funny, you can see the whole thing at Storify<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “ayes” had it this evening, with the affirmative team being declared the winners. The event was well attended and there was – as described by one of my work colleagues – “a lot of inter-silo discussion happening”. The speakers were all excellent. They knew their material inside out, were well-prepared, entertaining and pitched at exactly the right tone and level of discussion.<\/p>\n

There is already talk of a re-match next year. The topic? Unknown as yet … although it would be kind of interesting to debate about whether “Convergence in the GLAM sector is a myth” .. Hmmmmmm.
