In this lecture Prof. Julianne Nyhan (Principal Investigator) presents an introduction to some of the big questions to be grappled with during the AHRC towards a National Collection-funded project “The Sloane Lab: Looking back to build future shared collections” (2021-24).
Our project aims to devise automated and augmented ways, of mending the broken links between the past and present of the UK’s founding collection in the catalogues of the British Museum, Natural History Museum and the British Library.
