Jude Dicken – Manx National Heritage

November 08, 2020

Jude Dicken, the Collections Information Manager for Manx National Heritage, speaks about the variety of collections she oversees. This ranges from Viking Archeology to early daguerreotypes of the island, and the contemporary showcase of the Isle of Mann's TT motor festival. Jude discusses ambitious projects from as far back as the 1940s when an archive of recordings was made of the last native Manx speakers, to the recent 3D scanning and modeling project of the 200 early Medieval Viking crosses on the Isle. The promotion of their freely available digitized archive of Manx newspapers dating from 1792 has led to very positive engagement from both locally and further afield.
