Dr Javier Pereda

Liverpool School of Art and Design

Faculty of Arts Professional and Social Studies

I am a Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design and Illustration and the Decolonising the Curriculum academic representative for the School of Art and Design. I am also the Senior Researcher for Towards a National Collection (UKRI-AHRC), where I am part of the Programme Directorate. Towards a National Collection is a significant £19 million national initiative that leverages digital technology to create a unified collection of the UK’s museums, libraries, galleries, and archives (GLAMs), aiming to maintain global leadership in digital humanities and art research.

Past projects, include Unlocking the Colonial Archive: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Indigenous and Spanish American Historical Collections (AHRC-NEH). This project seeks to lower these barriers by introducing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into representative Indigenous and Spanish colonial archives in Mexico and the U.S. and training them to convert the "unreadable" archive into worldwide accessible data. The project revolutionises how cultural institutions offer access to colonial collections and how humanities researchers can undertake cutting-edge digital scholarship. I am also part of the Europeana Tech group and a member of the International Committee for Museology of the International Council of Museums (ICOFOM-ICOM).
