Latviešu Mūsdienās ļoti strauji norit sociālās pārmaiņas un tehnoloģiju attīstība, kas atstāj lielu ietekmi uz cilvēku dzīvesveidu, apkārtējo vidi, izglītību, profesionālo sfēru un rada sava veida apmulsumu. Aktualizējas jautājums par pagātnes lomu, pagātnes lietojumu mūsdienās. Cilvēkiem aizvien grūtāk kļūst plānot savu nākotni. 21. gs. paaudzei, salīdzinājumā ar iepriekšējo paaudzi , ir samērā sarežģīti definēt skaidru un drošu dzīves plānu: būt pārliecinātam, ka visu mūžu nodzīvos vienā valstī, strādās tikai vienā konkrētā profesijā. Tas mudina cilvēkiem aizvien biežāk atskatīties pagātnē un aplūkot pagātnes pieredzi, vērtības. Sociālā atmiņa tiek izmantota , veidojot savu individuālo identitāti un iekļaujoties sociālajās grupās. |
Angļu The tite of annual paper is The impact to social memo ry of Cultural Heritage Digitizing. For centuries, Libraries, Museums and Archives have operated as a kind of public good, supported by a patronage structure of universities, governments, and philanthropy . However, the environment in which cultural heritage institutions such as Museums, Libraries and Archives operate has been radically changed by society’s transition to a knowledge economy, and by the associated p henomenon of information technologies, digitization, and the Web. These changes have had great impacts on these memory institutions. One aspect is the sheer quantity and availability of information now in the environment – with exabytes of new digital info rmation being created annually, at an exponentially increasing rate Digitized collections afford significant museum, libraries and archives are experiences, and can result in a wide range of satisfying outcomes and benefits – both planned and emergent – fo r the visitor. Collections also represent a broader benefit – a public good. They are specific instances of the global “Utopian” project of digitizing the sum total of human knowledge and making it available on - line – the potential benefits of which cannot be fully anticipated, and continue to emerge. Cultural institutions are enmeshed in the broader debates of digital policy and strategy. This paper examines an institution’s role in the broader social project of digitization today, looking at how these pro jects support institutional mandates and objectives. And how digitalization impacts the social memory. |
