Glasgow Emblem Digitisation Project

The site has been developed, with generous funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council under the Resource Enhancement Scheme, by a team led by Post-Doctoral Research Assistant Jonathan Spangler, and Project Director Alison Adams. All but two of the emblem books digitised are from the Stirling Maxwell Collection in Glasgow University Library. The Bodleian Library and the Bibliothèque Mazarine have generously made material available to enable us to present the complete corpus. The Project is undertaken within the OpenEmblem initiative.

The French website has been complemented by two add-on projects: Alciato at Glasgow (funded by the British Academy); and, The Study and Digitisation of Italian Emblems (funded by the EU (Marie Curie)). The Italian site, developed by Donato Mansueto (Bari) is still under development.
