You are invited to join the launch of the Australian Writing and Rock Music dataset on AustLIt.
This exciting launch is part of a larger project on the connections between texts and music by Chief Investigator Dr Margaret Henderson. The dataset collates bibliographical records of fiction, memoir, and critical essays written about Australian rock music.
But what makes this dataset unique is the bibliographical network we have created by identifying authors, directors, illustrators and more who are or who have been rock musicians—people already included in AustLit for their creative outputs, but had not previously been connected through their shared heritage of rock.
We aim to produce an innovative, world-leading dataset that highlights the depth and breadth of writing about Australian rock music, and therefore the breadth and depth of Australian rock music itself.
We invite you to join us for the launch of this dataset and for a panel discussion on networks of connection in digital cultural heritage—as well as to test your knowledge of Australian rock music with Rusty the rock dog’s rock trivia.
Afternoon tea will be provided
