Tuesday, 9 July, 11:00–13:30
Place: the Palestinian Museum

This event will officially launch one of the Museum’s most important initiatives: The Palestinian Museum Digital Archive. This archive will constitute a major component of the virtual platform of the Palestinian Museum, and will include 70,000 digitised documents in a regularly updated open-access digital archive aimed at making accessible documents, printed materials, photographs, films, audio recordings and other materials, and preserving them against loss, damage or expropriation through digitisation.

The platform launch event will include a demonstration of the procedures and workflows of the digitisation project; description and display of some of the main collections that will be made available on the platform; and discussion with the owners of some of the key collections.
