Abstract
This fifth annual research report has a particular emphasis on digital research, with features on crowdsourcing, international collaborations in digital scholarship and digitising our collections.
A highlight this year was the return of exhibitions at our St Pancras site in London. You can read about the research that informed three exhibitions that took place this year, as well as projects that will feed in to future shows.
Another theme in this report is the strength of our partnerships with organisations in a wide range of sectors. These include the Library's involvement in the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Independent Research Organisations Consortium of cultural and heritage organisations, the renewal of partnerships with the government's Chevening Fellowship programme and Wikimedia UK, and a new collaboration with the National Trust.
