DIGITAL HERITAGE and FUTURE MUSEUM

Introduction

ICOM 2004 in Seoul is being convened at a turning point in the history of heritage management where the concerns of both the museums and their relevance to all generations, especially young people, are challenging the very future of the Museum. Digital platforms have become a means to access, promote and manage collections, exhibits, programs and heritage resources. However, the collections and heritage resources that are ‘born digital,’ and hence derive their authenticity in the digital format only, are as yet not adequately addressed by museums. This one-day concurrent session at ICOM 2004 will consider this challenge and set the agenda for the future concerns of ICOM and the museum profession.

Aim

The Digital Heritage Concurrent Session at ICOM 2004 will address two aspects of the field through:

• Facilitating a clear understanding of the nature and content of Digital Heritage illustrated through case studies; and
  
  
• Consider the way forward for the future of museums and their relevance integrating Digital Heritage into their core business
