Andrew Greg is an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Culture & Creative Arts, University of Glasgow, based in the History of Art department. His work involves collaboration with major institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Royal Academy, Apsley House, Public Catalogue Foundation, and BBC.
Greg's research centers on art historical documentation and public access to cultural heritage. As Project Director of the National Inventory of Continental European Paintings (NICE Paintings), he manages a Kress Foundation-funded initiative documenting European artworks in UK collections. His pioneering work on 'Your Paintings Tagger' leverages crowdsourcing for metadata creation in the BBC's national art catalog, bridging traditional scholarship with digital innovation.
His publications (2004-2014) demonstrate an evolution from biographical entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography toward digital humanities research. Key themes include national art inventories, virtual collections, and public participation in cultural documentation, reflecting interdisciplinary work spanning art history, information science, and community engagement.
