The two organizations will share knowledge and expertise in the networked delivery of cultural heritage. We are excited to see our Members' collections available to U.K. primary and secondary school teachers and students. The diverse connections to be made between collections, educators, and students should be a natural and vibrant outgrowth of this agreement. This allows them to access and download large sized images and fully operational video and audio files. These, together with a range of tools and CD-ROMs may be used copyright cleared for teaching and learning.
Personal licenses are also available for home use.
Founded in 1997 with 23 Members, the Consortium today is made up of over 30 major museums in the United States and Canada. Its an innovative collaboration not seen before in museums that shares, shapes, and standardizes digital information regarding museum collections and enables its educational use. Membership is open to any institution with a collection of art. We attempt to credit all re-distributed news and announcements and appreciate reciprocal credit. Below are links provided by James Love, through the Digital Future Coalition, to three reports on the roundtable discussion held at the Library of Congress yesterday.
