Digital Scholarship at the British Library
- 1. Digital Scholarship, Digital Research: widening access to BL collections and services Dr Mia Ridge, @mia_out Digital Curator, British Library BL Labs Roadshow, Cambridge, February 2016
- 2. Defining Digital Research Using computational methods either to answer existing research questions or to challenge existing theoretical paradigms…. Machine learning Data Visualisation Data Mining Georeferencing Digital Mapping Crowdsourcing Text mining Collaboration
- 4. The Digital Research Team is a cross- disciplinary mix of curators, researchers, librarians and programmers supporting the creation and innovative use of British Library's digital collections. Meet the Team
- 5. How we help researchers Support new ways of exploring and accessing our collections with those at the intersection of academic research / cultural heritage / technology through: • Getting content in digital form and online • Collaborative projects • Offering digital research support and guidance • Events, competitions, and awards (BL Labs)
- 6. Main Activities • Staff training • Promoting Digital Scholarship within BL • Curating digital research data • Project management • Engagement with users • Creating and sharing online content with other libraries and research centres • Communication: events, blogging, social media
- 7. Social Media; Working collaboratively: Using the BL Wiki; Presentation skills; Foundations in working with Digital Objects: From Images to A/V; Behind the Screen: Basics of the Web; Metadata for Electronic Resources: Dublin Core, METS, MODS, RDF, XML; Digital Collections at British Library; Communicating our collections online: Access & Reuse Policy; Crowdsourcing in Libraries, Museums and Cultural Heritage Institutions; Text Encoding Initiative (TEI); Data Visualisation for Analysis in Scholarly Research; Geo- referencing and Digital Mapping; Information Integration: Mash-ups, APIs and The Semantic Web Digital Scholarship Training Programme
- 8. Digital Conversations Public evening talks on specific themes around ideas, tools and projects around Digital Scholarship. Contributors have included entrepreneurs, technologists, librarians, academics and analysts. Topics include: • Search and Discovery • Sharing and Annotation • Profiling and Privacy • Open for Re-use • Future of Text • Digital Narratives • Using the Cloud • Games and literature • Computational creativity Videos are shared afterwards: http://bit.ly/XFJrcI
- 10. Crowdsourcing: Sound map - Your accents
- 12. Big Data History of Music How can vast amounts of bibliographic data held by research libraries be unlocked for music researchers to analyse? Can this data be interrogated in ways that challenge the traditional narratives of music history? Analyses and visualisations exposed previously uncharted patterns in the history of music, for instance the rise and fall of music printing in 16th- and 17th-century Europe (huge dips in output in Venice were down to plague and war).
- 13. Pelagios: Enabling Linked Ancient Geodata Collaborative project to transcribe & map Classical and Medieval placenames from digital texts and manuscript images. Allows for visualisation of place and space in historical documents. BL contributed >350 digitised images of medieval materials, plus one digital paleographer!

- The Digital Scholarship Training Programme was a two-year internal training initiative dreamed up by the Digital Curator team that launched in November 2012. Now three years in and have created nineteen bespoke one-day courses for staff covering the basics of Digital Scholarship which we deliver on a rolling basis. Deliver 88 courses to nearly 400 staff members so far!
- Sound map -Your Accents: The 'Your accents' interactive map displays a collection of recordings created between November 2010 and April 2011 and is a result of the British Library exhibition, Evolving English: One Language, Many Voices. People all over the world were invited to record their voice reading a children’s story, Mr Tickle (© 1971 Roger Hargreaves), to help the Library capture contemporary English accents: http://sounds.bl.uk/Sound-Maps/Your-Accents
- Convert-a-Card is an experiment with a new method for transforming printed card catalogues into electronic records for inclusion in our online catalogue Explore. Catalogues pre-date computers. The library's online catalogue, Explore, provides public access to nearly 57 million records, but c750,000 printed books held in Asian & African Collections are listed only in hard-copy catalogues. Records matched, located, transcribed or translated as part of Convert-a-Card will be uploaded to the British Library's Explore catalogue for anyone to search online. By participating you will have a direct impact on the availability of research material to anyone interested in the diverse collections available at the British Library. Began as Chinese Books Card Catalogue: project supported by the Chinese embassy aiming to identify OCLC records that match 28,000 printed card catalogues of Chinese publications held at the BL through crowdsourcing. Matching records improves the catalogue: http://www.libcrowds.com/
- Research Question: Brought together for the first time the world's biggest datasets about published sheet music, music manuscripts and classical concerts (in excess of 5 million records) for statistical analysis, manipulation and visualisation. Aim was to unlock musical-bibliographical data held by libraries in order to create new research opportunities. The project cleaned and enhanced aspects of the British Library catalogues of printed and manuscript music, which are now available as open data from www.bl.uk/bibliographic/download.html and piloted big data research techniques on these and five other datasets. Source Collections: Data from seven existing databases and catalogues were used as the basis of this project: the British Library's catalogues of printed and manuscript music; the bibliographies created by Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM) that list European music printed 1500-1800 and music manuscripts in European libraries; and the RISM UK Music Manuscripts Database and the Concert Programmes Project database. Digital/Computational Techniques: Data wrangling using Open Refine and MARCedit. Data visualisation using: Google Fusion Tables and Palladio Project slides: http://www.slideshare.net/historyspot/ihr-big-data-history-of-music-9-june15 Outcome: Analyses and visualisations of these datasets exposed previously uncharted patterns in the history of music, for instance involving the rise and fall of music printing in 16th- and 17th-century Europe (huge dips in output in Venice were down to plague and war!), or the rise of nationalist colourings in music of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The detection of these long-term trends permits new ways of linking music history to wider histories of culture, economics, society and politics
