Converging Communities in Digital Heritage

At the heart of networks, institutions, programs and projects are people engaged with actions and agendas that traverse the boundaries of any one organization. Within these 'virtual communities' of human effort and achievement, we converge to take on the recurring and emerging challenges or opportunities of cultural heritage in the digital age, often without the full appreciation of other activities that may be happening in parallel. This roundtable aims to broaden our virtual community awareness through highlighting success stories and lessons learned in digital heritage as shared by the individuals involved in their founding, development and evolution.
