3DVisA was funded between 2006 and 2008 by the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The Network was hosted by King's Visualisation Lab in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College London. It was an integral part of a wider UK Visualisation Support Network, VizNET, spanning the UK academic research community. This website documents some of 3DVisA activities and provides access to publications and resources created in 2006-2008, some of which continue to be maintained by King's Visualisation Lab. 3DVisA was also the Secretariat of The London Charter for the use of three-dimensional Visualisation in the Research and Communication of Cultural Heritage.

"How to measure and define the success of cultural websites and online services is a problem common to all parts of the cultural sector - museums, archives, galleries, arts organizations, libraries and publishers. Worse, funding agencies and government departments lack the expertise to offer guidelines or set standards. The result is a confusing mixture of statistics and reporting that reveals little about genuine user satisfaction."

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.

Das ist spannend, weil die Initiative des Instituts of Museum and Liebrary Services, US) sowohl Fallbeispiele integriert als auch ein Dokument publiziert hat zum Thema "21st century skills". Ausserdem wurde ein "self assesment-tool" entworfen. "The tool allows museums and libraries to determine where they fit on the continuum of 21st century skills operations and programming." Und die Seite des Instituts sammelt News und Veranstaltungen zum Thema.
