Abstract

A research team within the Textiles Department at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology has since 2001 been involved in designing and realising an internet-based resource for textile students and staff at higher education institutions in the UK. The project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB). Members of the team here provide an overview of the main issues involved in planning and implementing a digitisation project, discussing technical and design details and describing the construction of textile terminology relevant to design students.
