Press Release Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek
The second volume of the series "Cultural Heritage in the Digital World" of the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek has just been published. For the first time, the anthology provides a more comprehensive overview of the activities related to the dissemination and networking of the cultural heritage in each federal state of Germany.
While the first volume titled „ A Future for the Past" dealed with issues related to public responsibility, social tasks and private engagement, the second volume is now focused on the federal states' strategies for the cultural heritage in the digital world.
In detail, the contributions answer questions on the organisational structure and infrastructure of digitalization as well as cooperations and political conditions and set the political agenda in relation to actual achievements. They describe the progress of implementation and provide information on digitisation services, projects and their coordination. Furthermore, they do not only explain institutional responsibilities and portals but also the cooperation with the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek. Finally, the contributions include explanations regarding long-term archiving and provide prospects for future developments. Selected concepts outside Germany round off the picture. The publication is availabe in printed form and is also freely available as an EPUB or PDF file.
