Digitala modeller

2016–2019

The research project ”Digital Models. Techno-historical collections, digital humanities & narratives of industrialisation” (funded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, between 2016-19) is a collaboration between the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology, with a national responsibility for technical and industrial heritage, and the digital humanities hub, HUMlab at Umeå University. Based on selected parts of the museum's collections the project aims to explore the potential of digital technologies to reframe Swedish industrialisation and its stories about society, people and environments.
