What’s the impact of digitisation?
The digitisation of cultural heritage collections has been going on for several decades now, promising unprecedented potentials for the GLAM sector to fulfil its public mission of opening up knowledge and culture to the participation and enjoyment of all citizens. The big question is, how do we demonstrate that we actually achieve this ambition through our digitally powered work?
A range of amazing ignite speakers responded to the challenge and gave us an insight in the tangible impact of their work.
