The Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource has won a BETT award in the category of Digital Collections and Resource Banks. The BETT 2010 Awards ceremony took place in London on January 13th.

Judges commented: “The ease of use and attractiveness of the images are what make this collection so compelling: teachers will no doubt find a huge number of imaginative ways of using this resource in the classroom.”

Organised by Emap, Becta and BESA (the British Educational Suppliers Association), the BETT Awards recognise and celebrate the best and most innovative technology solutions available for UK classrooms.

This is the fourth award that the website has received since it was launched in July 2009. The Pre-Raphaelite website won an Interactive Media Award in September 2009 and a BIMA award and DADI award in November 2009.

The web developers for the Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource are Birmingham based company Tak! Design. Congratulations to Tak! and to the team of researchers, curators, photographers, documentation staff  and others at BMAG who worked on the Pre-Raphaelite project.
