44. The Radcliffe Camera Staff Blog
Danielle Czerkaszyn,
HFL Graduate Library Trainee
45. A blog is an abbreviated version of ‘weblog’
which is a term used to describe websites that
maintain an ongoing chronicle of information.
46. What is the reason/ purpose for the blog?
What standards and guidelines are in place for
posting?
Who gets to post?
Should limits be set on the content of the blog?
How to tackle issues of privacy and data
protection?
How to get staff input and make them feel
included?
49. The motivation behind the staff blog is to improve
communication within the Radcliffe Camera team.
By implementing the blog:
• Work practices and issues are documented,
shared and easily referenced at a later date
• Information is consolidated in one place thus
avoiding duplication
• Email inboxes are less crowded with routine
emails
• Evening/weekend staff are better informed about
what goes on during the week
• Everyone will feel part of a wider team

68. 1837. July. 1. Florence.
Contains a reference to Queen Victoria "her manner and deportment during the first
ceremonies of the Reign." - Praise of William IV.
Florence, 1st July 1837
Dear Sir Charles -
I welcome you sincerely to Italy, and almost to Terra Firma, & I am
delighted to find that you have not given up your visit to Florence.
I have not received any letter for you whatever, & any that may come
hereafter, I will keep until you arrive.
You will have been already acquainted with the change that has taken
place in England. Everything, up to my latest accounts from London,
had passed off quietly, & the general opinion is highly favourable to
our young Queen, as to her manner and deportment during the first
ceremonies of her Reign.
The memory of the late King will be long and justly so, remembered by
all classes in England, as a Sovereign during whose Reign the greatest
benefits have been conferred.
Pray command me in any way, & believe me to be, Dear Sir Charles,
Yours most faithfully,
Ra. Abercrombie

- Inspiration came from obviously an important year for Shakespeare, wanted to take part in the Bodleian celebrations, and also the lucky coincidence of the Ulrike Draesner symposium taking place, Writer-in-Residence at the German Sub-Faculty in 2015-16. Ulrike published ‘radical translations’ of S’s sonnets, set in a post-modern world of reproduction not via nature as in Shakespeare’s sonnets but via cloning. This had inspired German lecturer, translator and poet Tom Cheesman to venture a back-translation in which he “Englished” her versions again. This led to ‘Twin Spin’ – Shakespeare x Draesner x Cheesman
