Scottish Network on Digital Cultural Resources Evaluation
Workshop 1: Exploring models for digital access
Wednesday, May 20, 2015
12.30-5.00
Sir Alwyn Williams Building, University of Glasgow

This half-day workshop will consider various approaches to digital resources that have been used in recent years by cultural and heritage organisations in Scotland. The emphasis will be on reflecting upon the success of these programs, while also questioning what constitutes success in the context of increasing access and building audiences through such initiatives. The workshop will look at the organisational settings, types of collections and targeted users associated with each approach, and examine how these issues affected the design and implementation of these different models. What lessons can be learnt from these projects, and looking to the future how can they help in the planning, development and implementation of new digital platforms and resources?

Representatives from cultural organisations that have worked to digitise their collections will be invited to speak on the experience of developing and implementing these initiatives (such as SCRAN, the Scottish Cultural Resources Access Network, UMIS, the University Museums in Scotland "Revealing Hidden Collections" project, and Glasgow Museums’ Collections Navigator). These brief presentations will be followed by smaller, group discussion, at the end of which participants will have the opportunity to share their reflections on the issues and themes discussed, and help set the agenda for future events organised by the network.

This workshop will appeal to academics and practitioners working in a range of disciplines. Cultural heritage workers, arts professionals and scholars interested in issues relating to digital resources and their impact upon preservation, education, engagement and outreach are invited to register.

Attendance is free but registration is required through Eventbrite.

PLEASE NOTE: A limited number of travel bursaries are available to postgraduate students and early-career researchers to facilitate their participation at the workshop. Please contact [log in to unmask] for more information.

Background to the project

Initiated in January 2015, the Scottish Network on Digital Cultural Resources Evaluation brings together academics from a variety of disciplines and professionals from Scotland’s key cultural and heritage organisations to investigate the use of digital cultural resources by diverse user groups. The two-year project is coordinated by Dr Maria Economou, Joint Curator/Lecturer in Museum Studies, based at HATII in the School of Humanities, and The Hunterian, and is funded through an award of £19,875 from the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
The network explores and analyses how digital cultural resources impact learning, research and community engagement within cultural heritage organisations. What is the impact of these resources, and how can this be quantified and recorded in order to help organisations use them to their fullest potential?
The project’s main case study is the re-development of the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, which is due to open in 2016. This mixed-use space will house the collections of Glasgow Life, The Hunterian of the University of Glasgow and the Scottish Screen Archive of the National Library of Scotland. The network will consider the applicability of digital technologies to the Kelvin Hall project, and also study the characteristics of Glasgow’s wider cultural landscape. By using a variety of methodologies and perspectives drawn from museology, computing science, the digital humanities and the social sciences, the project places Glasgow’s cultural offerings within a wider, international discussion concerning how and why digital cultural resources are used by both cultural heritage organisations and their diverse audiences.
Over the two years of the project, network partners will organise a variety of events including workshops, a knowledge exchange forum for cultural professionals, an international symposium and a public open day for exploring the digital collections at the newly-opened Kelvin Hall.
