Building Sustainable Digital Cultural Heritage Collections: Towards Best Practices for Small-scale Digital Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past decade, many institutions have undertaken small-scale digital projects (often involving a few hundred items) designed to expand access to cultural heritage online. This work examines a number of theoretical and practical challenges involved in planning and carrying out small-scale digitization projects involving culturally sensitive artifacts. This work builds on a study, Building Digital Cultural Heritage Collections in Arizona, funded by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. Our larger aim is to help define best practices for online documentation of historically under-represented communities.
