Description
Alan Turing, one of the founders of computer science, was a student and Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge. In 1960 is mother gave some of her collection of his personal papers to the College; associated documents written by him continue to accrue to the Turing Papers held at King’s. When a pilot study for digitising an entire archival collection was mooted in 1999, the organisers asked King’s if the collection chosen could be the Turing Papers and the King’s Archivist worked with them to create the Turing Digital Archive, now at https://turingarchive.kings.cam.ac.uk. This talk will discuss lessons learned over the nearly 25 years of the digital archive.
