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.

ScholarTHON: rethinking the hackathon for arts and humanities research

Hackathons emerged among software developers in the late 1990s, built around a particular kind of work. ScholarTHON, a two-day event on 2–3 June at Oxford’s Weston Library, rebuilds the format for arts and humanities research. MAHP is delighted to support it alongside the Data/Culture project, the Bodleian’s Centre for Digital Scholarship, and Digital Scholarship @Oxford. Registration is free; no coding experience required.
