Digital Building Heritage: Phase III
Principal Investigator: Dr Douglas Cawthorne
From 2014 to 2015

Co-Curate North East
Principal Investigator: Eric Cross, Newcastle University
From 2013 to 2015
Co-Curate NE responds to demand from schools and community groups within the North East to access and enhance knowledge from a broad range of museum collections and archives.

Productive Margins regulating for Engagement
Principal Investigator: Professor Morag McDermont
From 2013 to 2018
