This project was jointly funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Irish Research Council through a UK-Ireland Collaboration in the Digital Humanities Networking Grant. The network focused on the impact of digitisation on research into medieval Ireland and Scotland, seeking to better our understanding of how we currently use digital resources with a view to facilitating improved applications of technology in future research and more intelligent, innovative use of resources. The team organised 4 workshops and a training event in collaboration with Celtic Scholars across the globe and representatives from 3 institutional partners: the National Library of Scotland, the Royal Irish Academy and the British Library.
