Consequently, much of this visual material remains invisible and unknown, even to Library staff. The British Library is home to an extensive collection of prints and drawings, yet no index or catalogue of these objects currently exists. Project curator Mailena Mallach will hold virtual interdisciplinary workshops about the objects under study, and the digital platform will be accompanied by online and in person outreach to ensure that audiences at Oxford and internationally are introduced to the website and the new research on the museum's early modern German drawings. Examples range from Hans Holbein the Younger's design for the (now lost) Jane Seymour gold cup to a design for a silver table fountain by Albrecht Dürer. The main digital output will be a new microsite that focuses on a smaller selection of artworks that highlight the role of drawing in the design process.

The project will investigate almost 200 of the museum's early modern German drawings, all of which will be shared in the Collections Online. A digital project will allow the Ashmolean to develop more innovative ways to tell multimedia stories for wider audiences. The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology has been publishing its collections online since 2017, but this digital platform is not geared for browsing by a casual researcher, nor does it allow for interactive exploration.
