How do you know what you are looking for?
This document discusses finding and capturing digital cultural heritage from various sources on the internet. It provides an overview of Europeana, a digital library that aims to give access to Europe's digitized cultural heritage by 2025. The document notes barriers to digitization like intellectual property and issues around metadata. It also lists some sources of data like Europeana, Project Gutenberg, and NINES as well as tools used for digitization like spiders and Getty vocabularies. Next steps discussed are analyzing digitized collections and upcoming readings on analyzing ship logs, images from the web, and comparing web archives.
