Re: Recording Archaeology talks and lectures - our guide to the best online by Orpbit on Saturday, 28 October 2017

Very useful. Thanks for putting them together, although some of these have been referenced before among the threads, always a good reminder, and particularly informative for new readers.

As regards recording and making transcripts and references here to archaeoastronomy, I put one together for Clive Ruggles' archaeoastronomy course at Leicester, entirely for my own use. It caused a bit of a rumpus when I made it available, in a closed History of Astronomy forum - i.e. plagiarism - but the purpose was simply to illustrate, and as the course had been closed anyway for some years, it didn't cross my mind that such a negative reaction would come from scholars.

None the less, after the matter was resolved Clive corresponded with me, and with his guidance I amended the transcript to make it available more widely from his website. You can find it here:

The moral of the story is that not only should the lecturer be made aware, but the transcripts could, with cooperation be compiled for the lecturer to have a ready made resource to use as he or she might wish to at a time in the future, when they would otherwise be too busy to undertake the task themselves.

( I have posted the link above during the course of discussions on at least one thread)
