Last month saw the first ESRC IAA and Creative Fuse CAKE collaboration over at the Mining Institute in Newcastle. Here Frances Hardcastle from Creative Fuse summarises the main points from the afternoon presentations. <\/em><\/p>\n

How does the digital affect archive materials? Often when we consider digital archives, we equate this with the process of digitisation – creating a digital copy of an item that can be viewed on a screen and stored on a server. But what if there was more to the digital archive than digitisation? In our 15th Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) event, we explored the changing dynamics between digital and original artefacts, and\u00a0how the message can complement and be transformed by the medium.<\/p>\n

In keeping with our theme, this month’s event blended the grandeur and heritage of the venue with a\u00a021st Century\u00a0audience; filling the library of the Mining Institute<\/a><\/span> with representatives from the region’s Creative, Digital and IT sector.<\/p>\n
