2024 ADL report

2024 was a busy year for the Arts Digital Lab, with a record number of student researchers working in the Lab. We’ve put together a summary of some of the highlights of the last year.

Canterbury Roll

The Canterbury Roll is a 15th-century, hand-written genealogy that begins with Noah and traces the rulers of England from the mythical Brutus to King Edward IV. This project presents a new digital transcription and translation, mapped to a high quality digital facsimile of the Roll.

Student projects

You can learn how to develop your own digital projects in the Honours-level course DIGI 403. You will acquire valuable transferable skills, learn how to apply digital tools and methods to research questions, and understand how scholarly knowledge can be delivered through digital channels. Head to the UC Digital Humanities page to learn more about your study options in Digital Humanities.

QuakeStudies

UC QuakeStudies is a digital archive built to store content related to the Canterbury earthquakes. We aim to document the impacts of the Canterbury earthquakes, record our community’s recovery, and facilitate research on earthquakes and post-disaster response and recovery in New Zealand and around the world.
