Hinweis aus der Forumsksdiskussion Museum 3.0: http://museum30.ning.com/forum/topics/projects-linking-source
I'm working on several projects linking the historic collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum with Indigenous source communities in Canada. Ironically,, I'm finding that the Indigenous groups are way more savvy about social media than this academic...So, we are posting images of objects on Flickr for people to think about before they come to Oxford to see them, have started a Facebook (invited) group for participants, and are thinking about other ways to use new media to create new relationships between museums and overseas source communities.
"When was the last time you visited the library? Or a museum? When was the last time you read a reference book from cover to cover or took the time to travel to an exhibition? I bet it was quite some time ago since most of these things are now readily available online, digitised and searchable."
