Soldiers' true war stories will live on in the digital archives In the public presentation of war history, soldiers' personal letters, diaries and memoirs are fundamental to how we understand conflict and its effects. These powerful sources offer deep insights into the war experiences of individual soldiers and nurses, and the impact on their families and communities. Yet their presentation can also serve popular myths about war and national identity. The exciting benefits of digitising such records – including a recent partnership between the State Library of New South Wales and News Corp<http://www.newscorpaustralia.com/news/news-corp-australia-and-state-library-new-south-wales-partner-bring-our-anzac-history-all>– sit alongside broader concerns about the public uses of the wartime past. http://bit.ly/1tKQ50f Source: http://theconversation.com/soldiers-true-war-stories-will-live-on-in-the-digital-archives-25703 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1tKQ50f+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
