Welcome to the Data Foundry at the National Library of Scotland. This unique initiative merges technology and cultural heritage to enable and enhance the use of our collections.
Established in 2019, our Digital Scholarship Service focuses on making our collections accessible as data, fostering external collaborations, and engaging in innovative projects that benefit both academic and public audiences.
At the Data Foundry, we focus on:
- Transforming collections into accessible data formats
- Facilitating collaborative projects with academics, students, and artists
- Advancing digital scholarship to benefit a broad audience
Data Foundry is ideal for those interested in digital research, creative use of collections, or exploring 'Collections as Data' concepts.
