Policy Recommendations for Digital UK Heritage Collections
Unlocking the potential of digital collections – a call to action
Our Towards a National Collection researchers launched a call to action for the UK’s cultural heritage sector to collaborate on building a unified digital collection, or risk losing the opportunity to be a global leader in collections-based research.
The policy document, entitled Unlocking the potential of digital collections – a call to action, presents a call to action for cultural heritage organisations and funding bodies to come together in pursuit of a critical goal: the development of an inclusive, unified, accessible, interoperable and sustainable UK digital collection. It has been developed through an extensive consultation exercise across sector organisations, funders, large collection institutions and the programme’s research teams. In total 50 organisations contributed their knowledge and expertise.
