GLAM Lab
Established in 2025, the Salford GLAM Lab brings together researchers and cultural heritage organisations to explore the future of digital innovation, preservation, and public engagement. Through regional, national, and international partnerships, the Lab supports critical work on colonial heritage and the decolonisation of museum collections.
