The aim of
the project is to research and collate information about Scots who served

an internet Website which quickly attracted an average of 1000 worldwide
users per month. The research and Website publication is augmented by
seminars involving veterans, scholars and students. Subjects have included
The Royal Navy, The 51st Highland Division, Prisoners of War in South
East Asia, Indian Army Scots, The Secret War, The Sergeants Mess and The
Women's Land Army.

Conference:
The New Information Order and the Future of the Archive (20-23 March 2002)
The electronic revolution of the last decade has transformed
the nature and the potential of the public collection. It is now possible
to envisage libraries, museums and art galleries which are accessible,
in part or in whole, online. The publishing industry is in a state of
turmoil as it makes the transition to electronic dissemination of its
products; scholarly research has been revolutionsed by the resources of
the internet including online publishing, email, scholarly lists, and
the formation of new databases. E-commerce is in the process of transforming
the retail book trade. What, in this context, is the future of the archive?
Bringing together librarians, curators, archivists, publishers, booksellers
and academics, the conference sought to address some of the central issues
that arise from the rapidly forming new information order.

Conference:
Visual Knowledges (17-20 September 2003)
Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, The University
of Edinburgh
Arts and Humanities Research Institute, University of Glasgow
Edinburgh College of Art
This interdisciplinary conference investigated the role of visual
technologies in informing, shaping and creating knowledge. Its overarching
aim was to investigate the claims of scholars such as Barbara Stafford,
Martin Jay, and Timothy Binkley that our own culture is currently, in
the wake of the electronic revolution, undergoing a shift in which the
visual medium, traditionally playing a secondary role as the illustration
of text, is becoming the dominant medium of thought.
The conference projected forward by casting backwards in time to survey
the role of successive new technologies of vision in generating new cultures
of knowledge, perception, and experience. From the seventeenth-century
invention of the telescope and the microscope, and the progressive elaboration
of spatial representation in photography, cinema, the x-ray, scanning
technologies and the interactive computer screen, the conference addresses
the broad role of technologies of the visible in culture.
