Conference ‘Memory makers: digital preservation skills and how to get them’, Amsterdam Museum
Chantal Keijsper, 29 November 2018
“It is not the strongest of the species that
survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one
that is the most adaptable to change.”

“Heritage institutions house cultural and research content, which is the key
source to stimulate innovation. […] We find that organizations respond positively
to an environment of high consumer digital literacy and sustainable resource
allocation that enables slack, skilled staff and long-term strategic planning.
Innovation is thus, in fact, enhanced by digital literacy from both producers as
well as consumers.”
Trilce Navarette and Karol Jan Borowiecki, Digitization of heritage collections as
indicator of innovation, 2015
