Lecture Title:
New Ecology, New Pathways: The Expanded Public Cultural Services for Archives in the Era of Cultural Digitization
Abstract:
Driven by the wave of cultural digitization, archival practices are transitioning from a traditional model centered on "custody and access" to a more proactive and innovative approach to public cultural services. Archives are now actively integrating into the public spheres of cultural dissemination and education, thereby fostering a new ecosystem. This lecture explores how archives can innovate and enhance their social value by expanding their public cultural services in the era of Cultural Digitization.
