The Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII) was formed in 1997 to bring together Glasgow University's expertise in Information Communication and Technology (ICT) in the heritage sector. HATII’s research concentrates in the areas of technologies, methods, and theoretical developments that enable (a) access, (b) content analysis and appraisal, (c) evaluation and impact methodologies, and (d) preservation. Projects at HATII: (1) HATII is the lead site for ERPANET (Electronic Resource Preservation and Network) (IST-2001-32706) a European Union activity to enhance the preservation of cultural heritage and scientific digital objects. (2) It is a core partner in The Digital Culture Forum (DigiCULT Forum, IST-2001-34898), which monitors and assesses technological research and development and defines how they can be effectively deployed in the heritage sector (e.g. museums, libraries and archives). Its first major technology watch report was published in March of 2003. (3) The Effective Records Management (ERM) Project, £230k, with support from the JISC JTAP programme, investigated and piloted records management within the digital order. (4)With funding from the UK’s Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC 5/99) HATII is managing the 'Developing the Collection of Historical and Contemporary Census Data and Materials into a Major Learning and Teaching Resource' (CHCC project). (5) It is responsible for the New Opportunities Fund Project that is creating and evaluating TheGlasgowStory, (6) has a major collaborative research project with the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) funded by the Delmas Foundation investigating how researchers use digital information, (7) and was a co-investigator in InterPARES I. HATII also runs an internationally recognised summer school in digitisation. |
