The AHRC US-UK Food Digital Scholarship network provides a platform for US and UK cultural institutions, and researchers to network around the topic of food. It will map existing stakeholders, datasets and food research priorities, advise on digitisation standards, run virtual workshops, link to cross-disciplinary UKRI research, and build capacity via pump priming funding for future research. The network-research themes are: 1. Manuscripts 2. Printed literature 3. Other collections.WHY A FOOD DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP NETWORK? Food has become an increasingly popular subject of study due to its inherently multidisciplinary nature. Food's universal pervasiveness allows it to become an accessible window into every culture and time period. The materials and texts concerning food offer a continuous resource that spans thousands of years of human civilisation, with a massive corpus of written manuscripts, printed documents (books, pamphlets, menus), and other material culture and ephemera (including images and sound recordings) available for study. Many cultural institutions have large collections relating to food, some of which, now fully or partially digitised, are accessible to the global research community. However, knowledge of the existence and depth of many of the collections is limited, and there is a lack of communication between cultural institutions, data providers and researchers. Detailed mapping of the network has not been undertaken, and many possible connections have not yet been made.There is a large existing academic audience for food-related content in the multidisciplinary fields of food studies, gastronomy, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, and nutrition, domestic and medical history. Given opportunity and access, an even wider public audience would engage with historic food texts. In addition, there are multiple food-related programmes of education research running in the UK and US, all of which require access to material and data.Many global challenges are also directly related to food. The food system is linked to 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions, and healthcare costs are increasing due to diet-related issues (60%+ of adults in the UK and US are now Obese or Overweight). Food is also central to many countries' economies (11% of total employment in the US) and cultural heritage.Addressing these food-related global issues requires an interdisciplinary approach featuring (digital) humanities researchers, and content from cultural institutions, to provide a narrative, context and grounding for research and solutions, to highlight underrepresented voices, and to give greater insight into cultures, traditions and the preservation/ of culinary knowledge.Until now, coordination and networking between food-related UK and US cultural institutions and researchers has been limited. UKRI has previously funded interdisciplinary research through Global Food Security (one of UKRI's multidisciplinary programmes), alongside investment in UKRI food networks such as the STFC food network+, and the EPSRC Internet of Food Things+. These networks have, however, been severely lacking in input from the humanities. This proposed network represents a vital opportunity for UK and US researchers and cultural institutions to engage with and link to the wider interdisciplinary food research programmes.The main collaborating cultural organisations represent some of the largest and most important UK/US digitised food-based collections: the Boston University (project partner), U of Sheffield, U of Leeds, Wellcome Collection, Guildhall Library, U of York, U of Brighton, the Linnean Society, and Folger Shakespeare Library, UC San Diego Library, National Museum of American History, U of Southern Mississippi, U of South Florida (US).Further impact and reach is delivered through our partner organisations: JISC, Adam Matthews, The Recipes Project, H-Nutrition, FRiED, N8 Agrifood, and the Friends of the Oxford Symposium.

AHRC美国-英国食品数字奖学金网络为美国和英国的文化机构和研究人员提供了一个围绕食品主题建立网络的平台。它将绘制现有利益相关者，数据集和食品研究优先事项，就数字化标准提供建议，举办虚拟研讨会，与跨学科UKRI研究建立联系，并通过为未来研究提供资金来建立能力。网络研究的主题是：1。2.印刷文学3。为什么选择食品数字奖学金网络？由于其固有的多学科性质，食品已成为一个越来越受欢迎的研究课题。食物的普遍性使其成为了解每一种文化和时代的一扇窗户。有关食物的材料和文本提供了跨越数千年人类文明的连续资源，拥有大量书面手稿、印刷文件（书籍、小册子、菜单）以及其他物质文化和短暂事物（包括图像和声音）录音）可供研究。许多文化机构都有大量与食品有关的收藏品，其中一些现已完全或部分数字化，可供全球研究界使用。然而，对许多收藏品的存在和深度的了解有限，文化机构、数据提供者和研究人员之间缺乏沟通。该网络的详细地图尚未绘制，许多可能的联系尚未建立。在食品研究、烹饪学、人类学、考古学、社会学、营养学、家庭史和医学史等多学科领域，与食品相关的内容有大量现有的学术受众。如果有机会和机会，更广泛的公众将参与历史性的食品文本。此外，在英国和美国有多个与食品相关的教育研究项目，所有这些项目都需要获得材料和数据。许多全球性挑战也与食品直接相关。食物系统与温室气体排放总量的30%有关，由于饮食相关问题，医疗保健成本正在增加（英国和美国60%以上的成年人现在肥胖或超重）。粮食也是许多国家经济的核心解决这些与食品相关的全球性问题需要一种跨学科的方法，包括（数字）人文研究人员和文化机构的内容，为研究和解决方案提供叙述，背景和基础，突出代表性不足的声音，并更深入地了解文化，到目前为止，英国和美国与食品相关的文化机构和研究人员之间的协调和网络联系一直很有限。UKRI此前通过全球粮食安全（UKRI的多学科计划之一）资助跨学科研究，同时投资于UKRI食品网络，如STFC食品网络+和EPSRC食品物联网+。然而，这些网络严重缺乏来自人文学科的投入。这个拟议中的网络为英国和美国的研究人员和文化机构提供了一个重要的机会，可以参与并链接到更广泛的跨学科食品研究计划。主要的合作文化组织代表了一些最大和最重要的英国/美国数字化食品收藏：波士顿大学（项目合作伙伴）、谢菲尔德大学、利兹大学、威康收藏馆、市政厅图书馆、约克大学、布莱顿大学、林奈学会和福尔杰莎士比亚图书馆，加州大学圣地亚哥分校图书馆、美国历史国家博物馆、南密西西比大学、南佛罗里达大学（美国）。通过我们的合作伙伴组织：JISC、Adam马修斯、食谱项目、H-Nutrition、FRiED、N8 Agufood和牛津研讨会之友，进一步发挥影响力和影响力。
