| Summary |
Advances in digital technology have allowed museums, libraries, and archives to expand public access to their unique collections of objects, images, and documents. Digitizing facilitates collaboration among institutions and their participation in the formal educational system. Evidence shows that public interest is stimulated by exhibits of online objects, resulting in an increased number of physical visitors to these repositories. |
