Andrea is an Associate Professor in Law at the University of Exeter. Prior to joining the University of Exeter, she was a Postgraduate Researcher and Ph.D. Candidate in Cultural Heritage Law for the CREATe Research Councils UK Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy at the University of Glasgow School of Law. Working closely with the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, Andrea’s research considers how cultural heritage institutions within the public sector have responded to the increasing need to engage in commercialization activities during a time of economic recession. Her research examines the impact of technology on the public domain, examines the obstacles and opportunities generated by the digital realm, and it proposes recommendations for the legal, cultural, and ethical issues that continue to challenge cultural institutions.
Andrea previously received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and worked professionally as a graphic designer for five years. In 2014, Andrea graduated from DePaul University College of Law, magna cum laude, and received a joint LL.M. degree in European Business Law, cum laude, from Radboud University in the Netherlands. Andrea is also a registered attorney with the Illinois Bar.
Resources by Dr Andrea Wallace
Digitisation can include making copies of physical originals in digital form, such as by scanning or photographing collections. It can also include projects that improve the quality or management of your existing digital collections. This guide was produced with the aim of sparking creative thinking on how your own digitisation project can use or adapt strategies that have been tried and tested by others.
Use this project planner and handbook to help you develop your digitisation project idea into a comprehensive plan. This resource is designed to help you to: define your project goals; assess what resources you have available; identify the scope of your project and create a budget; create a plan to find the resources you need; and make a business case or prepare a funding application.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund’s licensing requirement supports open access to the rich heritage in the UK and the exciting possibilities of digital transformation in the cultural sector. All materials created or digitised with grant funding are subject to this requirement. This guide explains open licensing and provides a step-by-step approach to the open licensing requirement for each stage of your project. It is aimed at The National Lottery Heritage Fund applicants and grantees but contains useful information for anyone who supports open access to cultural heritage.
