The mission of the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII) is to encourage actively the use of information technology and information to improve research and teaching in the arts and the humanities.

The Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute builds on over 15 years experience in humanities computing at the University of Glasgow. The current expertise advances research and teaching practices through an expanding academic programme in humanities computing at introductory, honours, and postgraduate level. The undergraduate courses include Introduction to Digitisation for Research and Preservation and Cultural and Heritage Computing.

In addition to supporting collaborative research projects within the Faculty of Arts of the University of Glasgow, the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute manages its own research programme in the area of humanities and heritage computing. Examples of research projects include:

Evaluation Strategy for the re-development of the displays and visitor facilities at the Museum and Art Gallery, Kelvingrove
Funding Information & Communications Technology in the Heritage Sector
Digital Archaeology: Rescuing Neglected and Damaged Data Resources
The Wiltshire Wills project
