Two new members join the DigCurV network

DigCurV is pleased to announce that two new members have joined the network:

The Centre for Cultural and Industrial Technologies Research (CiTech) was established in 2009 at the University of Portsmouth to focus on the application of advanced computer-based technologies in a wide range of domains (digital preservation, healthcare, manufacturing, defence & security, education, entertainment, knowledge management, science etc.) and research into creative technologies and their impact on society.  CiTech members are currently involved in projects on the preservation of digital objects: text, sound, and image files; multimedia documents, websites, databases, videogames to facilitate universal access to our cultural heritage by developing flexible tools for accessing and storing a wide range of digital objects.  More information is available on http://www.port.ac.uk/research/citech/ .

The Estonian National Museum has growing digital collections and an interest in relevant training for its curators, and also has a role in helping county museums in Estonia with digitisation issues. More information is available from: http://www.erm.ee/?lang=ENG
