https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/whotaughtherthat/about-us:
The National Library of Scotland prides itself on providing free and easy access to its collections. As technology advances, the digital world has not only become an important part of our everyday lives, it affected the Library’s established practices as more and more of its legal deposit intake is received digitally. The main question then is how to display something Born Digital (i.e. material that has been created as a digital resource rather than digitised after creation) as part of a public exhibition? In search for a solution, the Library invited us, a group of master’s students by research following the ‘Collections and Curating Practices programme,’ to approach the display of the Library’s collections from a digital perspective. Our response took the form of an exhibition, located in the Library’s George IV Bridge Board Room. Coinciding with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, it celebrated women’s contributions to the Library’s collection, the ways in which the digital age has transformed the manner in which women express themselves, and how audiences can engage with this material.
