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.
In 2012 UC researchers invited members of the public to share their stories of the Canterbury earthquakes. More than 700 people contributed to the project, documenting the many different experiences of the disaster. UC QuakeBox: Take 2 is revisiting these stories and the people who shared them, offering the chance for original QuakeBox contributors to tell their story again and update us on what has happened since.
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.

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.
