Welcome to our second new feature, Flying Around in Aviary! This is where we spotlight the latest and greatest projects the Digital Repositories team have been hatching—things you might want to take a quick peek at (or dive right into).
So, what’s flying around in Aviary this week? The Fountains of Data collection is an open access repository of data from and about ancient Celtic healing fountains in Brittany, France gathered by Marilène Oliver (Art & Design) in 2024. It contains interactive LiDAR scans, 360º videos and immersive sound recordings of over 60 healing fountains, plus fascinating insights into each fountain’s unique rituals and lores.
