At Bristol, Digital Scholarship involves using digital tools alongside unique historical collections to support research and teaching. This could be creating a new online archive of digitised objects or helping a researcher to analyse a collection of texts using software tools. The Library Digital Scholarship team includes both support staff and academics, working closely with archivists across the University to help get the most out of unique cultural collections.
We provide training, teaching modules and inductions in digital scholarship skills including digitisation, games design and data mining.
We loan equipment to Bristol staff and students. Loans are free of charge but you may be required to attend an induction session.
