External activities

In recent years, Lise Jaillant has developed collaborations with several museums/ special collections libraries, building on her expertise in publishing history in the digital age.

In 2021, she obtained EPG funding to conduct the project “” – in partnership with the Cabinet Office. This project led to the AHRC Follow On  (2022-2024), with the CO as the main partner.

Dr Lise Jaillant has a background in publishing history and digital humanities. She is an expert on born-digital archives and the issues of preservation/ access to these archives. Since 2020, she has been UK PI for four AHRC-funded projects on Archives and Artificial Intelligence. These international projects aim to make digitised and born-digital archives more accessible to researchers, and to use innovative research methods such as AI to analyse archival data.

Since 2020, she has been UK PI for four AHRC-funded projects on Archives and Artificial Intelligence:

(1) (Unlocking our Digital Past with Artificial Intelligence) in partnership with the Cabinet Office.

(2) (Visual AI and Early Conflict Photography) in partnership with French researchers;

(3) (Artifical Intelligence for Cultural Organisations) with US partners;

(4) network (Archives in the UK/ Republic of Ireland & AI).

• She has completed a project on UK poetry publishers, “,” focusing particularly on the issue of born-digital archives. This project was funded by a major Leadership Fellowship from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (2018-20).
• These AHRC projects build on her British Academy Rising Star project (2017-18) to bring together archivists and scholars in order to find solutions to the issue of "dark" archives, closed to researchers for data protection or technical issues.

These projects aim to provide access to archival data to a wide range of "users" (researchers, members of the public) - without infringing the privacy of data producers and third parties.

Lise Jaillant’s classroom experience includes convening and teaching on a wide range of modules in Anglo-American literature and book history/ publishing at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Since 2020, she has convened and taught modules in Communication & Media, including modules on digital economies and cultural work. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Lise Jaillant welcomes PhD applications on any aspects related to her expertise – including digital humanities and cultural heritage. Please contact her if you would like an informal discussion about your ideas for a PhD.
