This cluster harnesses partnerships with museums, heritage organisations and professional practitioners to unlock new sources of data (e.g. chemical analysis of finds, bioarchaeological archives) and link previously fragmented records with new open platforms. We also aim to address specific challenges around ‘sacred heritage’.
Through our strategic partnership with the British Museum, we are connecting students, academics, and the local community with collections housed at BM_ARC, Thames Valley Science Park.
We support and nurture the development of impact across the Research Division, including Impact Case Studies for the next REF, through peer review/support mechanisms and targeted training for example on linked open databases.
