The following strategy worksheets and guidelines were developed by Enterprise Technology and Local History Services at the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) as templates for use by other history organizations. The guidelines were created both from experiences here at MHS and by glomming good ideas from the guidelines of others around the web.

Storytelling: digital technology allows us to tell tales in innovative new ways. As the tools available to publishers grow more sophisticated, it's up to us to experiment and see what sticks. [...]Stories are memory aids, instruction manuals and moral compasses. When enlisted by charismatic leaders and turned into manifestos, dogmas and social policy, they've been the foundations for religions and political systems. When a storyteller has held an audience captive around a campfire, a cinema screen or on the page of a bestseller, they've reinforced local and universal norms about where we've been and where we're going. And when they've been shared in the corner shop, at the pub or over dinner they've helped us define who we are and how we fit in.

Diskussion Museum Computer Group: User generated / crowd-sourced geotagging? I'll just give one practical example..  Take an image such as one of the Normandy landings from the Imperial War Museum - http://bit.ly/cIr4zG.  The description tells us it was taken in Villers-Bocage.  I could then (or perhaps even an automated tool could) generate tags that put it in that locality.  And then someone who lives or visits there should be able to track it down pretty easily.  In fact people have done such things - see http://virtualfunzone.com/normandy-1944-then-and-now.html - but for all their effort, without that relatively small step that such a tool would have facilitated nothing has gone back to the original images.  Without that an opportunity of providing an enhanced experience, whether through a web tool like HistoryPin or via a mobile based AR app, is lost.

Ein Beispiel für neue Zielgruppen erreichen (s. Konferenzbeitrag Archimuse: http://www.archimuse.com/mw2008/abstracts/prg_335001837.html Our solution (in progress): - By creating many experiments across the widest range of existing social networking models we are making links with the local community who in turn show what the Gallery and the area is really about through their own images, ...- We always ensure we can back each experiment with adequate resources and talent to ensure a high quality result that does justice to the Gallery we represent.
