Re:Collect: Have your say on accessing and discovering our Digital Collections
27 Jan 2026
Help shape the next generation of our digital platforms.
We’re improving our Digital Collections and value your input. Re:Collect is a new project focused on enhancing how our digitised collections are discovered, accessed, and used by all our audiences.
As colleagues who work closely with students, researchers, and members of the wider community, and who often use these platforms yourselves, your experiences and observations are vital. Your feedback will help us understand both staff needs and the needs of our users you support. As staff you may well use, or direct our users, to the following platforms:
- Manchester Digital Collections
- Manchester Digital Exhibitions
- Library Digital Collections (LUNA)
- Georeferencer
- Preservica
- EMU
- ELGAR
Let us know your experience. There are several ways you can take part and contribute either directly or by encouraging our users to get involved.
