The Europeana Aggregators’ Forum organized its 5th outreach event online on 20 June 2024, dedicated to present the role of aggregators and cultural heritage institutions in publishing aggregated data for re-use in the common European data space for cultural heritage, and to hear from cultural heritage professionals, researchers, and other professional re-users how they work with the digital collections they find online.
In the context of this event, Valentina Bachi shared various insights about the work that Photoconsortium as association is doing to promote heritage collections in 2D and 3D, in the context of panel 1 “Presenting one’s own collections in a new context“, particularly stressing the importance of data preparation according to different scenarios of reuse and the need of engaging with potential reuse stakeholders in different domains.
Recording of the entire event will be available soon.
Additionally, Photoconsortium was showcased in a brief presentation that illustrated some of the activites deployed to foster teaching and learning with photographic and other digital cultural heritage collections, also with reference to the source collections and e-learning activities that Photoconsortium offered to Historiana, the online tool dedicated to teachers and students.
This effort is part of the project on a common European data space for cultural heritage, for supporting reuse of digital resources and capacity building in the area of digital transformation of the education and cultural sector.
