Faculty Member, Centre for Research Collections
About
Dr Andrew Grout began his professional life as a geologist, working for the British Geological Survey for 13 years. He then undertook postgraduate research (MA, PhD) on the history of science in South Asia at SOAS, which led to his appointment, in 1996, as Research Fellow in the University of Edinburgh's Department of Geography. From 1998-2002 he worked on two flagship digital projects to make the cartographic heritage of Scotland more widely accessible: Project Pont and Charting the Nation. Since 2002 he has been Visual Resources Librarian in Edinburgh University Library Special Collections (now part of the Centre for Research Collections) and has been Digital Imaging Unit manager since 2007. He maintains a particular interest in South Asian, Islamic and Medieval collections.
