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 does it mean?

Copyright is “a little coral reef of private right jutting up from the ocean of Public Domain.”

“Prioritize Web and New Media programs in proportion to their impact on the mission.”

”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.”

Rob Stein Chief Program Officer, AAM
