Completed Research Projects This project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council under the Resource Enhancement Scheme, provides access to all the French Emblem Books of the 16th century, along with their Latin versions when appropriate. While the seed of the emblem as a genre was sown in Germany in 1531, it flowered and developed in France during the 16th century, and it was from there that it spread throughout Europe. Of the 27 Emblem Books on the site all but two are from the Stirling Maxwell Collection in Glasgow University Library. The espida project was completed in January 2007. The model that espida has developed can help make business cases for proposals that may not necessarily offer immediate financial benefit to an organisation, but rather bring benefit in more intangible spheres. While it was designed initially to be used within the area of digital resource management, it has potential for far wider application (decision making, performance measurement, change management). The espida project was directed by James Currall and included input from HATII colleagues Claire Johnson, Lesley Richmond and Seamus Ross. TheGlasgowStory website tells the story of Glasgow in words and pictures. With text by some of Scotland's best writers, it is illustrated with thousands of images from the collections of the city's world-famous libraries, museums and universities. From football to fashions, Auchenshuggle to Yoker, you'll find it all there. It has been widely praised not only for its content and ease of navigation, but also for the impressive technical facilities developed in its construction. Funded under the New Opportunities Fund digitise project, it was signalled out for special praise in the end of grant report commissioned by NOF, by then the Big Lottery Fund. The project was managed from within HATII and completed on time and to budget. A paper on the evaluation of the project was published by Ian Anderson as 'Pure Dead Brilliant? Evaluating the Glasgow Story', Program: Electronic Library and Information Systems, October 2007, Volume: 41(4) TheClydebankStory follows the successful template of The Glasgow Story providing images and stories of Clydebank people and places set in their historical contexts. OurGlasgowStory is an extension of TheGlasgowStory project. It enables users to write their own stories and recollections of Glasgow, illustrate them with images and post them online. This two year initiative based within the University of Glasgow Archives and Business Records Centre and funded by the JISC Technology Applications Programme (JTAP) provides tools and protocols for the effective management of information in the digital order, with particular attention to information held in a document-based form. It builds on the principles outlined in the University's Information Strategy. The final report from the project was delivered in April 2002.
