Dr Sarah Higgins

Profile

I joined the Department in 2010, where my research and teaching focuses on digital implementations in archives and libraries. Previously I worked for the University of Edinburgh's Information Services Group where I worked in several IT implementation teams before joining the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) to advise on research data lifecycle management and technical standards. With degrees in geography and cartography I have an ongoing interest in spatial data and have worked in GIS positions for the British Antarctic Survey and various local authorities and utilities companies. I also spent several years working as a self-employed stage designer. In my spare time I sing with my local acapella choir and enjoy fibre craft and artwork.

 

Additional Information

I am a member of the Archives and Records Association, coordinate DIS's membership of the Digital Preservation Coalition and the Archives and Records Council Wales (ARCW). I am a memeber of the latter's  Digital Preservation Group Sub-Group which is developing an all Wales digital preservation solution. Peer review is undertaken for a number of journals including Archival Science, Computer Standards and Interfaces, International Journal of Digital Curation, Library Review and the Records Management Journal.
