            📢 Today and tomorrow, 21-22 July 2026, our Director of Curriculum, Dr Toby Hodges, is participating virtually at the Library of Congress AI Literacy + Learning for Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LAMs) Summit. He will give a brief overview of current activities and suggestions for how summit participants can get involved in the AI Carpentry project. 🌟

            The gathering, in Washington, DC and virtually, brings together leaders and stakeholders working at the intersection of responsible AI and libraries, archives and museums. The goal is to work toward developing resources that support the responsible implementation of AI across knowledge institutions that prioritise trust, authenticity, and the public good--building on and connecting to existing efforts. 👏

            🗓️ Over the two days participants will:
            • Day 1 — Share work and outcomes from AI literacy and learning initiatives across the sector.
            • Day 2 — Engage in structured activities to develop shared resources and guides.

            After the event, the summit organisers will summarise the key outcomes and share the resources publicly.

The document is signed in print by John Hancock as President and attested by Charles Thomson as Secretary, with the imprint "Philadelphia: Printed by John Dunlap" at the bottom. The broadside is printed on aged cream-colored paper.

                                    Yet another example of the value of primary sources, whose study and publication must be the first duty of professional historians.
                                    And it's hard and often unsung work.

                                    «"My whole experience of working with the akhbarat has been one big eureka moment after another!," Faruqui [a historian of Mughal India] told me. "It never ceases to amaze me how the density of the informational ecosystem was at the time".

                                    The news reports Faruqui studied were written for the Raja of Jaipur. Hundreds of other nobles, princes and officials likely received similar reports from agents across the empire, forming one of the early modern world's most sophisticated information networks.

                                    ...

                                    With no index and tens of thousands of entries, the archive demands patience, stamina and a willingness to read page after page in search of patterns and relevant information.
                                    ...
                                    Early in his career, [Faruqui] spent seven frustrating weeks wrestling with another vast Mughal archive before abandoning it. The experience left him wary of sprawling, unindexed collections for nearly a decade.»
