SLV LAB Creative Technologist-in-Residence (Late 2025)

Tim Sherratt is undertaking an 8-week hybrid residency at State Library Victoria. He will engage the Library’s maps collection to explore geo-referencing and map collections data. His residency asks how geo-metadata can be leveraged to create compelling digital experiences; what hacking can tell us about the Library’s digital collections data model; and how digital tools can encourage digital scholarship using our material.
