Hackathon 2024: 17-21 June, Cambridge University Library
The 2024 Hackathon takes place in collaboration with the Hidden in Plain Sight project which is using cutting edge technologies from 3D microscopy and Micro-CT scanning to DNA analysis and Xray Florescence to explore how ancient books were used, modified and venerated. Successsful applicants will join the project’s team at the world-renowned Cambridge University Library, where they will work to create prototypes of a web-based public history output from this project.

The programme will include students from:
- School of History, Queen Mary University of London
