NINCH & Museums: Better Serving the Community
Report Available With
MCN Keynote Address by Stanley N. Katz:
"What Do We Want from the Cybermuseum?"
http://www.ninch.org/forum/museums.html
As part of a review of the role it plays within its different
constituencies, NINCH is organizing a series of small "think-tank" meetings
within these sectors. The first, designed for museums, was hosted by the
Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, on July 23.
In his keynote address to this year's Museum Computer Network (MCN)
conference (Toronto, September 5), "What Do We Want from the Cybermuseum?"
NINCH past-president, Stanley Katz, frequently referred to the rich
conversation recorded in the report of the NINCH meeting as a key
articulation of current concerns in museums on the development of digital
technology. Because the paper generated broader interest in the meeting
report than we had anticipated, we have decided to make it more widely
available. All participants have agreed to its release on the understanding
that they speak only for themselves and not for their employers.
Some of the key themes of the conversation (and of Stan's paper) included
rethinking institutional infrastructure, especially for coordinating and
integrating digital production; new staffing models; the potential of
broadband for furthering museum education and outreach; the role of
technology in connecting museums with the communities of the future; the
relationship between digital presence and the number of visitors to the
physical museum; as well as the developing role of NINCH vis-a-vis its
museum members.
The report and paper are available online at the above url and as pdf
documents.

New Publications and a Demonstrator on Digital Preservation The Digital Preservation Testbed has recently posted a number of new publications about digital preservation on its website.
The first publication is a White Paper entitled XML and Digital Preservation. This White Paper reports on the current status and recent preservation work being carried out with XML. XML stands for Extensible Mark-Up Language and is a world-wide format and language with great potential for the successful preservation of digital information.
The Testbed has further developed a demonstrator that shows how email can be saved and stored in a well-ordered and preservation-friendly manner. By making a number of adjustments to MS Outlook, every email User can have the basic set of tools to create and store durable and authentic emails. This is described in a new report, Email - XML Demonstrator: A Technical Description on our website.
XML Implementation Options for Emails is the title of a paper given by Maureen Potter, one of the Testbed team, to a recent Erpanet workshop. This workshop was held in Urbino, Italy, where an international audience of archivists and preservation professionals met to discuss the current status and potential of XML for digital preservation. You can find all of the aforementioned publications in the Knowledge Bank and Publications section of the Testbed website: see <<http://www.digitaleduurzaamheid.nl>http://www.digitaleduurzaamheid.nl>.
Kind regards, Maureen Potter and Carolien Nout
