I am Head of Special Collections & Archives www.qub.ac.uk/specialcollections and a founder member of the Digital Scholarship Hub Implementation Group.

My digital interests are in:

Digital collections and exhibitions
Metadata
Open access
Digital preservation archiving
Resource discovery tools

I am interested in digital scholarship and its potential to exploit archives and special collections to extend the reach of scholarship and facilitate new avenues of research. With the growing emphasis on public engagement and outreach I am keen to help support the development of online engagement opportunities through exhibitions and open access resources.
