Two projects within the current JISC Content programme 2011-2013 have been recently picked up by BBC News.
Observing the 1980s, based at the University of Sussex, will make available as Open Educational Resources (OER) written and oral testimonies from people from a range of backgrounds on what it was like to live in 1980s Britain. The content is being selected from the Mass Observation Project and the British Library Oral Histories Collections.
The University of the Creative Arts will contribute a flavour of 1980s fashion, but in fact covering a much wider time span, through the works of fashion icon Zandra Rhodes, as part of the Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection.
