ESRC UniMelb @FaCWebResource Women Australia @unimelb Thank you for your great work up to day!

Thinking about all of my friends and colleagues aligned to the ESRC UniMelb today. A day for pause.

ESRC UniMelb @FaCWebResource Women Australia @unimelb Sorry to hear this. If any ESRC UniMelb staff are keen on postgrad #digipres study, I have openings for PhD students, 2 with scholarships on current funded projects. My DMs are open.

Sorry to see the end of ESRC UniMelb. The Centre contributed a lot to HuNI, from Gavan McCarthy's involvement in the Steering Committee to rich datasets like the following: Colonial Australian Popular Fiction, Encyclopedia of Gold in Australia, Encyclopedia of Australian Science,

ESRC UniMelb You will be missed!

Farewell to ESRC UniMelb, my professional home in formative years writing and recording hundreds of women's lives for Women Australia from 2005 to 2009.

Dr Mike Jones ESRC UniMelb @unimelb I did some work many years ago for ASAP and have had various involvements from a distance with the Esrc over the years. It was a great place with important projects. I agree with your points Mike. Hopefully the legacy will be protected.

sad times in GLAMorous Melbourne😢 I've admired ESRC UniMelb's work from afar for many years. glad these projects will continue in some form 💛🗃✊

ESRC UniMelb @FaCWebResource Women Australia @unimelb Gentle geniuses of knowledge management. It’s been a joy, and a steep learning curve to work with you. Thank you for all you have done.

A wonderful team that has achieved impressive and inspiring things over the years. We have learnt much working with you and we wish you all the best for the future.

I was employed at the ESRC & worked with them since on some absolutely fascinating historical projects. It's sad and disappointing to see the University of Melbourne wind it up, but we can definitely be proud of its many achievements! Big 👏 to all esp to Gavan McCarthy!

Dr Mike Jones @nzerik @unimelb Chris Wragge Thanks for this thread, Dr Mike Jones. The dissolving of the ESRC UniMelb is incredibly sad for those who know the history, intricacies, possibilities of the work that was done there. And sad for those who may never know!

Sad, angry that ESRC UniMelb is being wound up. This organisation helped Sophie Couchman & me, 15+ years ago at Chinese Museum in establishing highly-valued Chinese-Australian Historical Images of Australia web database chia.chinesemuseum.com.au Plenty more data work to do! #chinozhist

Dr Mike Jones ESRC UniMelb @unimelb This is terribly sad news. I had the privilege of working with ESRC UniMelb on the Restoring Dignity project.

Terrible news that it’s closing! Mike’s thread captures my feelings. My work ESRC UniMelb as an undergrad profoundly influenced my attitudes towards pursuing research for the public good and maintaining the longevity and usability of data (knowledge) beyond a project’s lifetime.

It's been wonderful to read all your messages over this week. Thank you for the work you've done, and the kindness you've shown in reaching out, we appreciate your thoughts & words. The ESRC has now been disestablished, and this account will no longer be monitored after today.
