The archive of the future: Challenges and possibilities for digital collections

The archive of the future: Challenges and possibilities for digital collections

Perim, Renata; Beiguelman, Giselle

Short paper:

Cultural contents from museums, galleries and other memory institutions acquire new characteristics when organized to be preserved in a digital context. This content begins to form part of a dynamic and networked space through its links that connect to other information and people. It is proposed in this article to outline the ways in which some objects of cultural heritage have been made available on the web in order to indicate new possible dynamics from the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Through exploratory research with a case study of AI in a museum, it was possible to envision ways to build a new digital repository that is formed from the analysis between theory and practice. The possibilities that AI offers, as well as its limitations, will be pointed out to propose alternative ways to create a digital repository as an ecosystem of dynamic information.
