In the research ecosystem of the near future, when scanned objects and digitised archives begin to move more freely beyond the bounds of physical collections, our materials of study appear via generous repositories in pixels and datasets, and communication is directed towards search engines rather than libraries, what will a research institute be? How will they help researchers who are expanding visual understanding in the digital landscape? Or partner across institutions to build new infrastructure?
This panel draws on expertise from within the institutions of RIHA, presenting survey results alongside short presentations of projects that explore this series of questions.
