Online Resources

LADA provides free-to-access online resources for artists, students and professionals. This includes research facilities, information, online materials and programming packages.

Study Room Guides

As part of the continuous development of the Study Room we regularly commission a range of artists and thinkers to write personal Study Room Guides to help navigate users through this resource.

The idea is to enable Study Room users to experience the materials in a new way and highlight materials that they may not have otherwise come across.
