Announcements

Project Endings, a joint collaboration between the UVic Libraries and HCMC, funded by a SSHRC grant, now has a permanent resting-place for its website, at https://endings.uvic.ca. The site has links to all the presentations and publications coming out of the project, our Endings Principles for Digital Longevity, and news and information on all the related Endings-compliant projects which have been published recently.

A new version of the Colonial Despatches site, edition 2.1, was published on 9th July 2020, including the following new features:

• Several new sections have been added to the About page, including:
  
  • Colonial Office Staff and Consultants
  • The Despatches at Court
  • Decolonizing the Despatches
  • Glossary of Terms
• Many more biographies and abstracts have been added to the collection.
• The search page now allows the use of wildcards (* = anything and ? = zero or one character). This can be helpful when searching for names or terms that may be inconsistently spelled.
• The facsimile browser has been rewritten to improve its responsiveness.
• Encoding Documentation and Guidelines have been updated.

This is the second completely static version of the site, in compliance with the Project Endings Principles for Digital Longevity.
