I took a step forward on the latter activity earlier this week when I had a very interesting phone call with Peter Tolmie, a UK Ethnographer based in the School of Information Systems and New Media at the University of Siegen in Germany. I was given Peter\u2019s name by Richard Harper when I asked if he knew of anyone who is knowledgeable about how professionals manage their documents and who would be interested in working on a wrap-up paper with me. An initial phone call with Peter last Thursday indicated that we have a great many common interests \u2013 I found it a very stimulating conversation indeed. I\u2019ve sent Peter some documents describing the collection and we\u2019ve agreed to talk again on 21<sup>st<\/sup> March.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the search for a home for the collection (which is documented in various posts in this Blog going back to 2015), my current efforts lie in conversations I\u2019m having with Dr James Peters, the Archivist of the National Archive for the History of Computing at Manchester University, who has kindly agreed to help me in my search. In a phone call last month, James told me he was waiting for a response from someone he had emailed, but that, if there was no interest from that source, he could issue a note to a relevant mailing list on my behalf. If it is to be the mailing list route, I\u2019m hoping to get James\u2019 advice on what needs to go in the note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having initiated a preservation planning regime for the collection, and having moved it onto the Windows 10 platform, I\u2019m feeling that the only remaining things I need to do with it are to find it a permanent home and to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/2019\/03\/02\/getting-started-with-the-findings\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-document-mgmt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1592"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1593,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1592\/revisions\/1593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
