Oxford University har dragit igång en storsatsning på gammalengelsk och angosaxisk historia. Man har startat en insamling av digitala objekt som rör denna period. Av detta ska man skapa en stor databas som ska kunna användas av studenter, lärare, forskare och en intresserad allmänhet.
Så här skriver man själva:
The concept is quite simple. Members of the public, of academia, of special interest groups are asked to submit via an online web site any images, documents, audio, video they have of material they would be happy to share with the rest of the world to further the study of Old English and the Anglo-Saxons.
We would welcome images of buildings, sites, artefacts; teaching handouts or presentations; audio of readings or interviews; video clips of crafts, sites; and so on. In fact anything that you feel would benefit teachers, researchers, and interested parties who wish to learn more about the Anglo-Saxons.
