Digital Humanities scholar and digital heritage practitioner, Dr. Anne Luther (Digital Benin), is proposing a book project with Routledge and seeks proposals for book chapters that address the following:
-
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
