SUMMARY:Digitising Aris’s Birmingham Gazette
DESCRIPTION:A symposium about the recently digitized Aris’s Birmingham Gazette (established 1741). \n10 Sept; 1pm – 7.30pm \nEstablished in 1741\, Aris’s Birmingham Gazette was described by Asa Briggs as one of the most lucrative and important regional papers in the country with a reputation for its political impartiality and which\, even in the eighteenth century\, was circulated over a wide geographical area. \nFollowing a year-long project Aris’s Birmingham Gazette has now been digitized and was recently made available through the British Newspaper Archive\, which is published and managed by Findmypast\, in collaboration with the British Library. \nThis event comprises a symposium\, where those involved in the project talk about the work involved in making this important resource available; guests speakers contextualise Aris’s against Birmingham in the eighteenth century and newspaper publishing in the city more generally; there will be a panel discussion where those who have used Aris’s Birmingham Gazette reflect on the part it has played in their research. \nThis is a free event which can be booked here via Eventbrite. \nThis event is event supported by BCS Heritage Trails project. \nThe symposium will be followed by a drink’s reception. \nA programme for the event can be found here: https://www.cphc.org.uk/events/2022/9/10/ariss-birmingham-gazette
