Woruldhord
During the summer of 2010 staff at OUCS ran a Community Collection where members of the public, teachers, academics, museums and other units, were asked to send material related to the Anglo-Saxons to form part of a freely reusable web site. The Project – Woruldhord (or ‘world hoard’) – extended OUCS’s research into public engagement with community collections, and in the space of a few weeks has assembled a large collection of freely reusable educational resources. The project was directed by Dr Stuart Lee, a member also of the English Faculty, and the Research Officers were Dr Anna Caughey (Keble) and Mr Tom Birkett (DPhil, English). The collection will be launched tonight and anything you find in there can be used as OER.
The archive contains photographs, documents, presentations, databases, and more; covering objects, archaeological sites, poems, prose writings, and course material. It holds around 4,500 digital objects contributed by about 400 people or institutions. Anything you locate within Woruldhord can be freely reused for educational purposes under a Creative Commons Licence (CC-BY-NC-SA, see also Permitted Use).
The project was part of the RunCoCo project.
