We have a wide range of collaborations with organisations outside of academia. These range from work with major national institutions, to international networks, to small local heritage groups. In recent projects, we have worked with, among others:

• the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (Washington DC) on AI-based approaches to help identify oral materials suitable for accepting their collections.

• the British Library has partnered on several projects including the Space Time Narratives project and Ruth Byrne's PhD

• Blockworks to make Minecraft-based representations of Charles Booth's poverty in London maps.the National Trust on how historical representations of the Lake District can be used to help manage the Lakes for the future.

One of our a international collaborations is Pelagios, an initiative with  academic, charitable and memory institutions partners from over 13 countries. It welcomes further partnerships and interested parties can connect with the Pelagios community at the Pelagios Commons website.

We are part of the N8 Computationally Intensive Research Digital Humanities Theme. 

​

Within Lancaster University, we have collaborated extensively with the Library on Lancaster Digital Collections (LDC). LDC showcases, promotes and preserves unique and distinctive visual and multimedia digital collections from Lancaster University’s research outputs, Archives and Special Collections, and links with external partners. It enhances and benefits teaching, research and public engagement, and ensures that collections achieve maximum impact both within academia and in wider society.

We are keen to develop further relationships at international, national, regional or local level. These might involve collaborative PhD projects or collaborative funding bids, or more minor activities such as joint exhibitions, meetings or talks. For further information please get in touch.
