COLLECTIONS AUSTRALIA NETWORK Australian cultural heritage collections online

Excerpt from latest CAN Outreach blog:


By starting an online dialogue, museums can take the lead role in the
community as builder, shaper and connector. The online and on-site
communities need to work together to transform the museum's traditional
spaces into places where dialogue and education can occur. Here vital
links between cultures and social groups can be formed, placing small
cultural institutions at the centre of a community.

CAN's Outreach blog is developing momentum. It has a list of posts open
for discussion on how new trends in digital media can promote our
collections online. We encourage an energetic exchange of ideas. Our aim
is to build a supportive community who are not only keen to adopt
innovative strategies but enjoy sharing their ideas. If anyone would
like to bring their own topics to CAN Outreach, please email Sarah
Rhodes at enquiries at collectionsaustralia.net.
