"A Model Repository" Showcasing a Collection of Architectural Models for Digital Discovery and Reuse

This presentation was delivered by the author as an online Lightning Talk on 14 June 2022, as part of the main programme for IDCC22, the 17th International Digital Curation Conference.

The talk focuses on a project to catalogue and digitise a large collection of architectural models held in storage by the Manchester School of Architecture's B.15 Modelmaking Workshop. The intention is to make these available as digital resources for discovery, research and reuse by a wider audience, and to provide a showcase for the models in the University of Manchester's Figshare for Institutions research data repository. This project is being supported and delivered as part of the University's ongoing Research Lifecycle Programme (RLP).
