Postcards from Nottingham III: Thinking about Infrastructure

Websites lapse, links break, and important history can slip through the digital cracks. Our third and final postcard from Nottingham steps back to think about the shapes research infrastructure takes: centres inside universities, a new network on a two-year pilot, learned societies run on subscriptions, and a charity that maps Britain’s towns from the ground up.

Mapping the Arts & Humanities Project

 

Mapping the Arts and Humanities is the UK’s first initiative dedicated to surveying the landscape of research infrastructures in the field of Arts and Humanities. By making these often-invisible networks discoverable through an interactive map, database, and API, the project supports academics, researchers, funders, practitioners, and policy makers connect, collaborate, and demonstrate how Arts and Humanities research actively shapes knowledge, policy, and public engagement.

Podcast

Researchers, practitioners, and infrastructure leads in conversation on digital tools, research training, new research methods, cross-sector collaboration, and the changing landscape of arts and humanities in higher education.
