Mapping the Arts and Humanities

Mapping the Arts and Humanities

, | , , ,
There is significant arts and humanities research infrastructure in the UK, consisting of institutes, centres, hubs, research clusters and networks, and professional, learned and scholarly societies with a research focus. However, much of this infrastructure remains invisible, undiscoverable, and unconnected. This project seeks to identify and connect this complex research eco-system in the arts and humanities through the creation of an interactive, online, open access map. Along with a searchable database and application programming interface (API).

Iona’s Namescape: Place-Names and Their Dynamics in Iona and Its Environs

Iona’s Namescape: Place-Names and Their Dynamics in Iona and Its Environs

, | , , , ,
Iona is a site of exceptional historical, archaeological, and religious interest, and has been since its foundation as a monastery around AD 563. Despite the multiple ways in which Iona has been of interest to scholars and the general public, its complex legacy of place-names has never been the subject of sustained scholarly investigation. This project, funded by the AHRC, interrogates the dynamics of the namescape, the historical and changing landscape of names, of Iona and its environs, shedding light on its past and its complex present, and proposing new ways of curating place-names as part of heritage management.
