Being Digital

The library’s strategy prioritises Being Digital. Our work in Digital Heritage is to embrace technology to preserve our archives and special collections, and to make that content more accessible to all audiences.

Our objectives are to enable researchers to access material remotely, create transformative ways of interrogating information, and offer innovative visitor experiences.

We provide a suite of services that includes digitisation, metadata and publication, content creation, technology to support access, infrastructure to support preservation.

We have practice-based expertise on our team and can offer advice/partnership on digital scholarship projects. Please contact us on digitallibrary@universityofgalway.ie if you would like to discuss a project.

We can help with:

  • Advice on best practice standards
  • Advice on digital rights management

  • Archives and special collections
  • Digital exhibition creation and curation
  • Digital preservation
  • Hosting and publication
