In collaboration with the project team of AGORA, the next CATCH Meeting will be organized on Friday, 11 June 2010 in Amsterdam. This meeting starts at 12.00 and is open to any interested party. The location is the Amsterdams Historisch Museum in Amsterdam.

The theme of the day is “Digital Cultural Heritage Goes Social” .
As the Web gets more “social” and as museums, libraries and archives are beginning to offer online access to digital representations of their collections, users and institutions are beginning to inhabit the same, shared information space. This is an exciting prospect, as we are now witnessing new paradigms for engaging users with our shared heritage. The new paradigms imply, in many cases, the need for profound change in institutional practice. For instance, using the power of the Social Web to enrich the knowledge about our shared heritage. During the CATCH day want to put the possible interaction between the Social Web and cultural heritage into the limelight by presentations and discussions on this theme.
CATCHPlus will give a presentation, giving an update of the project so far.
