Today, we can offer online services that are available from everywhere to anyone seeking "to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits".
Article 27.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Everybody is a contributor to history and culture
Published in 2010
“…among the educated, Internet connected inhabitants of planet Earth, there are 1 trillion hours of free time every year that could be used for community action, civic engagement, and learning..”
And since 2010, a billion morepeople have come online.*

”What effect does digital availability have on the number of visitors to heritage institutions?”
Shift the attention to include online use = equal value to physical visits
What’s the societal good of digital cultural heritage?
How do we measure the impact of our digital presence?
“Now that museums are beginning to have the tools and expertise at their disposal to monitor, track, record, and analyze all the various ways that the public benefits from their work, the real task begins to redesign the process and program of museums and to embed impact-driven data collection into every aspect of our efforts.”
