    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.
