'Living with Machines' is both a research project and a bold proposal for a new research paradigm. In this ground-breaking partnership between The Alan Turing Institute, the British Library and universities of Cambridge, East Anglia, Exeter, Queen Mary University of London and King’s College London, historians, data scientists, geographers, computational linguists, library professionals and curators were brought together to examine the human impact of industrial revolution.

This series of short videos in documentary form seeks to make visible the collaborative underpinnings of the project by highlighting the team’s experiences, research objectives, challenges, and lessons learnt.

Living with Machines was funded by UK Research and Innovations (UKRI), via the Strategic Priorities Fund and was administered by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
