This collaborative project with Hay Festival focuses on the often-neglected academic question of how literature is experienced collectively today, using the Hay Festival to analyse the role of live literature events in a digital era. The project aims to create a detailed reflection on the new venues, communities, publication routes and reading experiences that the Internet and social media have enabled, especially following the coronavirus pandemic. The project will provide the first in-depth academic history of Hay Festival and the evolution of its live events strategy, contributing to both the story of arts organisations in modern Britain and the emergence of literary festivals as an international phenomenon in an era transitioning to digital connectivity. The project is also collecting unique oral history accounts with key individuals at Hay Festival, recording the history of the organisation through the voices of those who have experienced it over time. Working with British Library and Hay Festival staff, the project will develop a digital exhibition of archival materials, hosted by Hay Festival and timed to coincide with their 35th anniversary in 2023.

这个与Hay Festival的合作项目关注的是一个经常被忽视的学术问题，即今天的文学是如何被集体体验的，利用Hay Festival来分析现场文学事件在数字时代的作用。该项目旨在详细反映互联网和社交媒体带来的新场所、社区、出版路线和阅读体验，特别是在冠状病毒大流行之后。该项目将提供Hay Festival的第一个深入的学术历史及其现场活动策略的演变，为现代英国艺术组织的故事和文学节作为一个向数字连接过渡的时代的国际现象的出现做出贡献。该项目还收集了海伊音乐节主要人物的独特口述历史，通过那些经历过这段时间的人的声音记录了该组织的历史。该项目将与大英图书馆和Hay节日的工作人员合作，开发一个由Hay节日主办的档案材料数字展览，并将于2023年恰逢其35周年纪念。
