Ross Parry is Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Digital) at the University of Leicester (UK), and associate professor in its School of Museum Studies. For over twenty years, his interdisciplinary and highly collaborative research has considered the relationship between digital media and the cultural heritage sector. A former national chair of the UK's Museums Computer Group, and a Tate Research Fellow, he was one of the founding Trustees of the Jodi Mattes Trust - for accessible digital culture. He is the author of the book Recoding the Museum (the first major history of museum computing) and Museums in a Digital Age - a volume that helped define the subject area of 'digital heritage'.
