DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nInterfaces\, Margaret Hedstrom reminds us\, are sites 'wh
 ere power\nis negotiated and exercised'. As cultural heritage collections
 \nbecome available online\, new interfaces are developed. Instead of\nthe 
 intimidations of the reading room or finding aid\, our first\nconnection m
 ight be made through a search box\, gallery or RSS feed.\nBut while online
  interfaces might be more welcoming\, they still\nembed arguments.\n\nUsin
 g the tools and technologies of the digital humanities we can\ninvestigate
  the politics of cultural heritage interfaces by\ndismantling them and bui
 lding our own. This talk will look at a few\nexamples of how such interfac
 es can be hacked and reconstructed. In\nparticular I'll examine the possib
 ilities of text mining within the\nNational Library of Australia's Trove n
 ewspaper database\, and\nexplain how the 'Invisible Australians' project a
 ims to change the\nway we see the records of the White Australia Policy.\n
 \nDo these sorts of projects change the types of questions we can\nask? Do
  they change the distribution of power?\nSheratt has defined himself as an
  'impatient historian'. \nBased in Canberra his work wrestles with the dev
 elopment of online\nresources for archives\, museums\, and history.  He's 
 helped\ndevelop resources such as Bright Sparcs\, Mapping our Anzacs\, and
 \nthe History Wall.\n
