DIGITAL CULTURAL HERITAGE III:
FINDING AIDS AND ANALYSIS TOOLS IN ARCHIVES AND MEMORY INSTITUTIONS
11 - 14 July 2001
Maastricht
INITIATORS
Maastricht McLuhan Institute
Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University
INTRODUCTION
All over the world, the titles and contents of the great libraries, museums,
art galleries and archives are becoming available on-line. While
interoperable, technological standards are emerging, problems of
interoperable applications, tools, interfaces and usability remain.
The Maastricht McLuhan Institute (MMI) was set up to study and develop
methods for knowledge organisation and knowledge management in a digital,
distributed, multimedia world. The aim of the MMI is to create comprehensive
strategies for searching, structuring, using and presenting digital
resources more coherently and efficiently; to integrate past knowledge and
to produce ordered knowledge that leads to new understanding and insights.
AIM
This year's seminar is concerned with integrating developments in finding
aids (virtual reference rooms) with innovations in text and other analysis
tools which will allow the most varied and rich access to cultural and
historical information and knowledge. Following on from the experience
gained in the last two cycles which focused on implications of
digitalisation (1999) and interoperability of content (2000), this seminar
will continue to explore how multimedia is transforming learning, knowledge
organisation and knowledge management. There will be a particular focus this
year on archives.
The cycle of attention given to all three kinds of memory institutions
(museum, library, archive) is conceived to be a building and integrative
process. The seminar provides an opportunity to gain exposure to the most
recent developments in cultural heritage science and to interact with other
professionals who share similar concerns.
The conference will be limited to a maximum of fifty persons, with speakers
and discussions in the morning and small workshops with a maximum of fifteen
in the afternoons. Kim Veltman, Scientific Director of the MMI, will lay a
general foundation in the opening session. This will be followed by
treatment of finding aids and analysis tools, as they are used or projected
for archives and other memory institutions. On the last day a synthesis of
the different topics will be offered by experts who will take a broader
perspective on cultural heritage preservation and access. The afternoon
discussion groups will be divided among those interests relevant to the
current work of those in attendance.
PARTICIPANT PROFILE
Archivists, librarians and museum directors or professionals in senior
cultural heritage management; decision makers in cultural policy, strategic
planning and development.
