Our Digital Cultural Heritage Initiative

The Ministry of Education and Culture’s Digital Cultural Heritage Initiative maintains services to improve the availability, accessibility and long-term preservation of cultural heritage information resources. The initiative improves the interoperability between different information and data systems as well as promotes collaborative efforts between archives, libraries and museums and enhances their expertise. The Digime website of the National Library of Finland is responsible for communications as a whole.

The objective of Digime (the Digital Cultural Heritage Initiative) communication is to provide libraries, archives and museums with information on current issues of the digital cultural heritage and services for accessibility and long-term preservation, to promote cooperation between libraries, archives and museums by means of communication and to raise awareness among organisations of the importance of interoperability of information and systems. The goal of the Digime communication is to provide the wider public with access to digital cultural heritage data and the related information resources, services and expertise.
