We are starting an on-going series of workshops around our archival platform leftove.rs, which will look at the different ways we can open up this online collection material and the technical processes between it. We want to think through that kind of strategies, queries and categories will help us navigate something that is both an database and resource of radical history.
The first session we will be learning about the platform and mapping the collection by pooling our knowledge of radical histories of dissent to help us think about how we search, input and categories this large collection of material.
We hope that leftove.rs will become a collective endeavour and would love anyone who is interested to get involved. All welcome and please bring a laptop if you can. If you can’t bring a laptop please contact rosemary@maydayrooms.org in advance.
