Digital Heritage: Museum Data, Digitization and Digital Infrastructure.
I started a conversation with Routledge about a book proposal that will be submitted in the beginning of next year (2023) and am now reaching out to authors for book chapters with the following focus:
History of Digitization in Museum: history of cataloging, history of digitization and computers in museums, today’s practices.
Digital Infrastructure: foundational texts that build an overview on internal and public infrastructure (who is interacting with data in museums [practitioners], what are data in museums [standards, vocabularies, thesaurus, data structures], what are databases [differences, uses, technical possibilities, use] how do museums publish data online [infrastructure, standardization, LOI, Wiki, online catalogues etc.], what are differences between internal data use and online publication [technical, social, monetary].
Ownership: copyright, access, authorship and the digital divide
Practice and Education: case studies in- and outside the museum
Impact and Change: case studies on restitution, accessibility and change in museum policies, practices, authorship and ownership
Please get in contact with me if you are interested in writing a book chapter. Short proposals of 500 words can be submitted until January 31st to contact@anneluther.info.
