Materiality Research Growth Network

Description

The Materiality Research Growth Network is grounded in the University’s commitment to cross-disciplinary, cross-institutional research into the materials and materiality of collections- from the Material Culture Forum, Centre for Material Texts, and the Material Futures Network, to world-class labs dedicated to the preservation, conservation and scientific examination of collections.

Researchers are uniquely positioned to embark upon and develop research collaborations that can bridge Cambridge’s collections, disciplines and departments, and support wider arts, culture and STEAM agendas through the application of scientific approaches to enhance the understanding of cultural heritage.

The Network currently supports two projects: Thinking Paper and The Cambridge Heritage Science Hub (CHERISH) Initiative, offer new ways of thinking about the materiality of collections, both conceptually and methodologically. They embody the Research and Collection Programme’s aim to unlock the potential of collections through cross-disciplinary, national and international research collaborations.
