Nordic Archive Symposium

To the Nordic Archive Symposium in Copenhagen, and the chance to catch up with old friends and explore new opportunities. This is the first foray overseas for Historic Records Limited but there is more travel planned for next month and a calendar steadily filling for 2024.

The conference kicks off properly tomorrow, but delegates have been arriving all day, and Historic Records Limited was on a bus at 4am this morning, heading for Stansted and a 7am flight into Copenhagen. I am pretty well travelled generally, but Denmark is one country I have not visited before and so it’s good to cross this one off the list.

On the menu tomorrow, the linklives project, a technology exhibition and computer assisted indexing, “assisted” being the optimal word here as machines have not yet wholly proven themselves against humans.

And whilst we’re on the subject of indexing, Historic Records Limited has already delivered over 3m indexed records in the last three months, and is on track to deliver a further 4.5m records by the end of the year. A busy and fulfilling summer opens up into an even busier Autumn. Bring it on!
