Visualising China: Cross searching photographs from British Collections in a web 2.0 context
Read the projects new blog to find out more about how this project is providing resources on China for teaching, learning and research
The
Visualising China project will build on the digitisation work by the
Department of Historical Studies at the University of Bristol and the 15,000 digital images which have been created, and 5,000 images available to
search and browse with a further 7,000 having full meta-data, covering a date range of 1870 to 1950.
This project will enhance this collection by building on sophisticated visualisation Web software from the JISC funded
STARS project. The STARS software and technology will be extended to support image annotation and also cross-searching in a web 2.0 context to seamlessly integrate related content from Google Scholar, Google Books and Google Images among other valuable third party resources, including
Virtual Shanghai and Queen University Belfast's
Hart Digital Image Gallery.
