Dear All,

I would like draw your attention to our report on mapping digitised collections, which the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned earlier this year and which has just been published.

DCMS asked us and Knowledge Integration to consider, from a technical point of view, how the 2016 Culture White Paper ambition to 'access particular collections in depth as well as search across all collections' might be realised.

You can download the report here:

In the coming months we will also post some of its key ideas and findings in our blog. The first one is already live. It focuses on why we need to share collections information, and you can read it here:

If you have any comments or thoughts on this important subject I'd love to hear them.

Kind Regards,

Gordon.
