The date of the 6th of June is again memorable, but this time it was related to a much more peaceful event – the first meeting of the consortium of the ENUMERATE project. This is an EC-funded project with the important task of monitoring the state of digitisation of Europe’s cultural heritage.
Building on similar events in London, just before Christmas Collections Trust and Museums Galleries Scotland hosted the Europeana-Scotland Conference at the Engine Shed in a snowy Edinburgh.
c50 attended the conference at an excellent venue, with lovely home made refreshments. Attendees came from a range of organisations including: the national, local authority, university and small, volunteer-run, local museums. All parts of Scotland were represented. A great achivement given the weather!
Earlier this month the European Commision’s three-person Comité des Sages (Reflection Group) on “bringing Europe’s cultural heritage online” launched a public consultation on boosting cultural heritage online in Europe. Here are some details, reflections and a call to take part.
On Monday last week Collections Trust hosted the second Europeana-UK Conference at the Kingsway Hall Hotel in London.
Over 75 attended the conference this year, an increase of 25% on 2009. Organisations included the full range from nationals to small local museums, and all parts of the UK were represented.
