Archives HubPick 'n' Mix

Digital Artist in Residence for the Archives Hub, The University of Manchester, during June 2007.

There's been some very nice feedback and publicity: Focus on MIMAS ; Unilife ; Glasgow School of Art Library blog ; LIS 446 blog. One American visitor said "i thought the digital artist in residence was such a great idea that i forwarded it to my special collections colleagues and some of our teaching faculty in design, visual communications, and book arts".
