Digital Archives and Collections: Creating Online Access to Cultural Heritage

Curation

Digital Archives and Collections: Creating Online Access to Cultural Heritage by Katja Müller examines how museums and archives create and curate their online presence. It explores how archivists in India and Europe decide how to create their digital archives, what platforms to use, what records and collections to include, what methods to use in curating and maintaining these archives, and how to share these digital archives with the greater online public. The book is based on anthropological fieldwork and follows certain digital archives as they tackle technical advancements and postcolonial initiatives, examine programming alternatives, handle editing content, and deal with the active use of the digital archives themselves. It also looks at community archives and archives that have been digital since they were created and how these archives interact with the greater archival world. Digital Archives and Collections: Creating Online Access to Cultural Heritage provides a look at modern digital archives and the methods and reasons behind building these archives.
