An analysis of the values, impact and benefits of digitisation for building national identity
Cultural practice – the manifestation of ideas that come into being in
  aesthetic forms, whose main reason for being is to provide pleasure for
  those who consume them – e.g. novels, art, music...

  Conceptual container – culture is seen as an abstract tool for refining
  and elevating a society – it is the container for all that can be defined as
  the greatest offerings in terms of knowledge, creativity and thought
  that society can offer.

  In this mode, culture will become associated with a nation
  or a state and is a source of identity for the group that
  identifies with it.
Said, E.W. (1994) Culture and Imperialism. 4th Ed. Vintage

 Inspiring Research, Inspiring Scholarship
New areas of research enabled

“Old Bailey Online reaches out to communities, such as family
historians, who are keen to find a personal history, reflected in a
national story, and in the process re-enforces the workings of a
civil society. Digital resources both create a new audience, and
        reconfigure our analysis to favour the individual.”
            Professor Tim Hitchcock, University of Hertfordshire

   “Digitised resources allow me to discover the hidden lives of
  disabled people, who have not traditionally left records of their
lives. I have found disability was discussed by many writers in the
  Eighteenth Century and that disabled men and women played
           an important role in the social life of the time.”
                               Dr David Turner, Swansea University

Bestowing economic & community benefits

   Glasgow Museum's Collection is the city’s biggest single fiscal asset
   valued at £1.4 billion. It contains around 1.2 million objects. On average
   only 2% of the collection is exhibited to the public at any one time.
   Digital access is opening up further access to these collections.

   A major impact sought is to increase self-confidence in the populace – to
   feel less marginalised, less insignificant, less unheard. Increased feelings
   of self-worth through interaction with the Museums will spill over into
   every aspect of their lives.




       Digitised content & JISC Collections negotiations
             save the sector ~£43 million per year

An analysis of the values, impact and benefits of digitisation for building national identity
A place where a community
nourishes its memory and its
imagination – where it
connects with the past and
invents its future.


To educate, enlighten and entertain:
to promote and disseminate and to preserve culture
Option Value
5 modes of cultural value
                            •People value the possibility of enjoying the digitised resources and the
                             resultant research outputs created through the endeavours of academics
                             and HE now or sometime in the future.


                            Prestige Value

                            •People derive utility from knowing that a digitised resource, HE institution
                             or its research, is cherished by persons living inside and outside their
                             community.


                            Education Value

                            •People are aware that digitised resources contribute to their own or to
                             other people’s sense of culture, education, knowledge and heritage and
                             therefore value it.


                            Existence Value

                            •People benefit from knowing that a digital resource exists but do not
                             personally use it.


                            Bequest Value

                            •People derive satisfaction from the fact that their descendents and other
                             members of the community will in the future be able to enjoy a digitised
                             resource if they choose to.

An analysis of the values, impact and benefits of digitisation for building national identity

  • 1. Simon Tanner King’s College London Email: simon.tanner@kcl.ac.uk Twitter: SimonTanner
  • 4. Cultural practice – the manifestation of ideas that come into being in aesthetic forms, whose main reason for being is to provide pleasure for those who consume them – e.g. novels, art, music... Conceptual container – culture is seen as an abstract tool for refining and elevating a society – it is the container for all that can be defined as the greatest offerings in terms of knowledge, creativity and thought that society can offer. In this mode, culture will become associated with a nation or a state and is a source of identity for the group that identifies with it. Said, E.W. (1994) Culture and Imperialism. 4th Ed. Vintage
  • 8. New areas of research enabled “Old Bailey Online reaches out to communities, such as family historians, who are keen to find a personal history, reflected in a national story, and in the process re-enforces the workings of a civil society. Digital resources both create a new audience, and reconfigure our analysis to favour the individual.” Professor Tim Hitchcock, University of Hertfordshire “Digitised resources allow me to discover the hidden lives of disabled people, who have not traditionally left records of their lives. I have found disability was discussed by many writers in the Eighteenth Century and that disabled men and women played an important role in the social life of the time.” Dr David Turner, Swansea University www.kdcs.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/inspiring.html

  • 10. Bestowing economic & community benefits Glasgow Museum's Collection is the city’s biggest single fiscal asset valued at £1.4 billion. It contains around 1.2 million objects. On average only 2% of the collection is exhibited to the public at any one time. Digital access is opening up further access to these collections. A major impact sought is to increase self-confidence in the populace – to feel less marginalised, less insignificant, less unheard. Increased feelings of self-worth through interaction with the Museums will spill over into every aspect of their lives. Digitised content & JISC Collections negotiations save the sector ~£43 million per year www.kdcs.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/inspiring.html
  • 12. A place where a community nourishes its memory and its imagination – where it connects with the past and invents its future. To educate, enlighten and entertain: to promote and disseminate and to preserve culture
  • 13. Option Value 5 modes of cultural value •People value the possibility of enjoying the digitised resources and the resultant research outputs created through the endeavours of academics and HE now or sometime in the future. Prestige Value •People derive utility from knowing that a digitised resource, HE institution or its research, is cherished by persons living inside and outside their community. Education Value •People are aware that digitised resources contribute to their own or to other people’s sense of culture, education, knowledge and heritage and therefore value it. Existence Value •People benefit from knowing that a digital resource exists but do not personally use it. Bequest Value •People derive satisfaction from the fact that their descendents and other members of the community will in the future be able to enjoy a digitised resource if they choose to.
