New quality of sharing of cultural objects at the University of Warsaw – creation of a centre for digitisation of library and museum collections

The aim of the project is to create an innovative infrastructure for digitising and making available the resources of cultural objects owned by the University of Warsaw and the digitisation of their cultural goods. The product will be a comprehensive infrastructure enabling the development, scanning, processing and publication of cultural objects in digital form. Importantly, the final product, i.e. digital versions of cultural goods, will be publicly available to every recipient. The created tool for publishing cultural objects in digital form will be made available under Open Source license. Facilities currently available in the Electronic Library of the University of Warsaw e-bUW will also be transferred to the newly created infrastructure. Digitisation goes hand in hand with a strategy aimed at making this content available to the widest possible user via free websites, which is why these goods will be made available to facilitate the work and use of them. Making them available will be a way of promoting culture, as well as an inspiration for further research into objects and texts and a step towards making full use of the potential of digitised cultural resources – both creative, scientific and economic.
