*DigiCULT Thematic Issue 5 - Now Available
Virtual Communities and Collaboration in the Heritage Sector
*
This fifth Thematic Issue concentrates on the question of how heritage
institutions might benefit from fostering virtual communities related to
core activities such as exhibitions, educational programmes or in
support of scholarly communities.
There is growing volume of evidence to suggest that cultural heritage
institutions' adoption of virtual communities will broaden the reach,
value and relevance of cultural heritage. The vision to link the
collections and work of heritage insitutions with virtual communities
promises to considerably change the way we access, communicate about,
share our understanding of, and participate in the experience of
cultural heritage.
But, for most cultural heritage institutions, the challenge will be
first to embrace the idea of co-operating with a (non-professional)
online community, and then to nurture an evolving and thriving community
that crosses the virtual as well as physical space.
