Today, amidst the information age, the idea of 'object', 'visit' and (even)
'site' have been transformed. The 'collections' our visitors engage with are
just as likely to be digital in format, bringing with them an array of new
curatorial challenges as well as audience expectations.
Our community holds one of the richest sources of such information and
knowledge available in the world. In communicating this knowledge we need to
understand the world of publishing better and consider seriously the
permanence of digital material and access to it. At the same time we need to
aid understanding of the widest possible audiences by explaining and
bringing to life its value to them. A tall order, and all within our limited
budgets.
Squaring up to these major changes, and by drawing together a range of
practitioners, consultants, scholars, policy makers and industrialists this
year's UK Museums and the Web conference focuses attention on to the
'digital object'.
