OMG. I assumed people were wildly misinterpreting this when they said the archives would be destroying the physical copies after a digital copy was made. But nope: 'The consultation is seeking views on keeping hard copies for about 25 years'.

Scholarly opinion: This is bananas.

Go beyond boundaries*

*Terms & Conditions apply. In English only. No study of other languages will be provided. 'Go beyond boundaries' does not imply learning about other cultures.

'By buying into the hype that machines can do our language work for us we dehumanise what it means to use languages to communicate, to make meaning, to create relationships and to build communities.'

This looks great, looking forward to listening! Susan Harrow
