Woruldhord project features in the Guardian

[Ylva]

The Woruldhord project - a RunCoCo case study - is featuring in the
Guardian online (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/jul/06/oxford-
university-anglo-saxon-archive). The project opened its online
submission this month, and the article is one result of the project's
outreach activities.
The article describes the project and what it is setting out to do
("collect together into an online hoard, digital objects related to
the teaching, study, or research of Old English and the Anglo-Saxon
period of history"). It also puts the online collection in context of
two recent events: the discovery of a hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold in
Staffordshire, and the appointment of a new professor of poetry at
Oxford.
I feel the publication of the article illustrates how you can get
national press coverage if you know what channels to go through (such
as you university's press office or similar), how to present your
project in a suitable context, and - not least - have a good project
to start with! It'd be interesting to hear how other projects have
gone about getting press coverage and how that has worked out (or not).
