Now published, #TaNC report 'Unlocking the Potential of Digital Collections. A call to action' https://zenodo.org/records/13838916
This document presents the policy recommendations of Towards a National Collection (TaNC), a five-year, £18.9 million investment in the UK’s world-renowned museums, archives, libraries and galleries, with funding provided through UK Research and Innovation’s Strategic Priorities Fund and delivered by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The recommendations detail an end-to-end process, with case-study examples and supported by detailed training materials, which we ask UK cultural heritageinstitutions and their funders to adopt to help build a unified UK digital collection.
There's something about 'generated' in CGDC that bothers me, that didn't when UGC was so hot in the mid-aughts. Maybe a post-LLM thing? Or that it mixes community research with preservation and sharing?
The DPC has partnered with the AHRC-funded #TaNC "Towards a National Collection Project" and its initiative "Our Heritage, Our Stories" (#OHOS), working with a wide range of community groups and archives to research and document the community archives landscape in the UK.
This collaboration has resulted in the development of a toolkit designed to address the needs of community archives.

The TaNC directorate is pleased to announce that the programme’s final conference will take place on 20 and 21 November 2024 at the Contact Theatre, Oxford Rd, Manchester, M15 6JA. The TaNC Conference 2024 will be an in-person conference with hybrid access. The TaNC Conference 2024 will be a celebration of the research and development embraced and supported by TaNC. In 2021, TaNC initiated five major Discovery Projects aiming to investigate and harness digital technologies in order to break down the barriers between different cultural heritage collections, opening them up to new research, and enhancing opportunities for public engagement. At the conference, the TaNC Discovery Projects will present their achievements through a variety of presentations as well as dynamic and performative media. To learn more about our five Discovery Projects, see the film by clicking here. At the programme’s final conference, TaNC will also launch its Policy Recommendations, aiming to help and inspire the UK cultural heritage sector and its funders to transition to a common set of standards which make collections more visible, discoverable, inter-operable and secure.
