Metadata services, digital collections, and preservation

Abstrak

Every region, every country, every library has items and content that are important to their culture and the heritage that they pass on to future generations. But what is cultural heritage and what does it consist of? According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2009), “Cultural heritage includes artefacts, monuments, a group of buildings and sites, museums that have a diversity of values including symbolic, historic, artistic, aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological, scientific and social significance” [UNESCO Institute for Statistics / Cultural Heritage, 2009]. And because of their importance, it is vital that we work to not only protect and preserve the content, but also make it available to the communities we serve and the wider world4. But how can we do this? In this article, we will consider how libraries can increase the visibility of their unique resources to share their cultural heritage with the world, the importance of collaboration in this task, and the impact that this can have.
