Shared
Miletus: Towards a Networked Virtual History Museum
http://www.evl.uic.edu/paper/template_pap_project.php3?indi=159

sought to explore new tools and techniques, ones that could be useful
to create a networked virtual environment, taking the place of a
traditional museum. This paper describes the software used to build
the environment, and the virtual tools created specifically to support
remote, international visitors to the exhibition.

Integrated
Environment for the Management, Protection and Exploitation of Digitized
Material of the Hellenic Cultural Heritage
http://www.medicif.org/dig_library/StateArt/Museums_Case_Study/Tsolis/tsolis.html

Photographic
Imaging Technique (PIT)
http://www.indiana.edu/~scuba/pit.html
PIT utilizes readily available computer software and hardware to
visually document underwater cultural and biological resources.
Photographs or video images are digitized and saved as a file in
the computer. Computer images are scaled, rotated, and placed into
a "composite file" of the site being documented. The resulting
product is a simple representation of the actual site, with excellent
resolution of selected features. PIT enables site plans to be developed
with minimal diving and computer time.
Archiving
Digital Cultural Artifacts
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/july98/07lyman.html
Written by Peter Lyman and Brewster Kahle. The article looks
at the digitizing of cultural artifacts addressing questions such
as: what will be the consequences of these changes in the nature
of the medium for creating and preserving our cultural heritage;
what new technological and institutional strategies must be invented
to archive cultural artifacts and hand them on to future generations?
This paper, then, is the product of a dialogue between a computer
scientist/entrepreneur and a political theorist/librarian, and represents
an attempt to create a common agenda for action.

a brief overview of some of the digital library initiatives across
Europe that are addressing the issues and challenges that are confronting
libraries in their desire to go digital.
