Abstract

The Sloane Lab: Looking Back to Build Shared Collections project is funded by the U.K. Arts and Humanities Research Council program as part of Towards a National Collection (TaNC), a major investment using digital technology to create a unified national collection of galleries, libraries, archives, and museums in the United Kingdom. The project is focused on the vast collection of Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753) held at the British Museum, Natural History Museum, and British Library. It aims to employ advanced computational and digital humanities approaches augmented by a participatory co-design methodology to reunite the collection records online for the first time.
