Goal

• Designing an interface for searching and browsing historians resources in the CENDARI project

• Participatory session: get the archivists involved as early as possible

– to be sure to address their concerns

– to let them participate to the design of the system

[video]

Examples, from standard to less…

• Show existing systems

– Related to history and archives

– Less related to history or archives

– Wild

• Invitation to “thinking out of the box”

REFLECTIONS

Vision Portfolio for CENDARI-Specific Requirements

Concerning a recent research question you had to answer for your archivist work, how would you dream to perform it using the Cendari Virtual Research Environment infrastructure?

When users of your archival institution arrive with notes collected, how do you see they can be integrated in a Virtual Research Environment for improving your work or the service of your archive?
