Think you might use our digital edition *at all*? Then now is your chance to make sure it works for you as well as possible. Have a play and then press the feedback icon and spend 30 seconds or so letting us know what wasn't so great so we can try and fix it!

We are counting down to the end of work on our digital edition. Could you click the feedback button on our site (bottom right icon) & let us know about any 'pain points' so we can tweak them while we still have the aid of the amazing @kingsdigitallab.bsky.social? TIA! 🗃️ #DH

As a result of the Bodleian Folk archives being no longer available from today, I'd like to try to get an idea of how many of us use it, how, and how often. It's such a vital resource for so many of us. I've set up an email at [email protected] for this so please do feed back
