Hello
I'm wondering if you generous people can help me with some shortcuts to
getting some statistics and views I need.
1) The Netful of Jewels plan set a target of 400 digital museums in the
UK by 2002. Is there any sense of whether this target has been achieved
by now? If we say that a digital museum is one which enables you to
explore a significant proportion (?) of its collections online, have we
achieved it? Roughly?
2) I've been asked if I know the overall percentage of UK publicly
funded cultural collections that have been digitised and put online (in
whatever state). Is that fact known? Do we know it for designated
museums? Do we know it for libraries and archives? Do we know it for
England alone?
3) Several countries have created national portals to their cultural
collections. Does anyone have statistics about their use, and any sense
of who is using them and what they are being used for?
Hoping to hear from you on this ridiculously hot and steamy afternoon in
London.
Best wishes
Bridget
