Oxford University to Create Online Anglo-Saxon Archive
July 10, 2010 16:59
Thanks to Paul Biba at TeleRead for alerting us to a new online archive to be developed at Oxford University.
In his post, Paul includes two paragraphs from The Guardian:
Widespread interest in last year’s discovery of a hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold in Staffordshire has prompted Oxford University to embark on a mission to create the world’s largest online archive about the period.
The university is asking members of the public to upload any stories, poems, writing, art or songs they have composed or heard that relate to Old English and the Anglo-Saxons to Project Woruldhord (Old English for “world-hoard”). Oxford is also keen for translations of Anglo-Saxon texts, pictures and videos of Anglo-Saxon buildings or monuments, recordings of Old English, and even videos of historical re-enactments, to be included in the archive.
You can learn more by reading the complete article from The Guardian and/or this official announcement from Oxford.
Access Project Woruldhord Web Site
Finally, the announcement points out that this type of archive created built by public submissions, "follows Oxford's Great War Archive, which received 6,500 objects from the public."
