Digitizing the Donor Experience: Exploring the Use of Digital Collections to Build a New Culture of Philanthropy in the Museum
Presented to Smithsonian staff members as a presentation at the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access on September 24, 2019 by Romilly Beard, Fellow in Museum Practice (2019). The video explores the following questions:
How can we increase impact by using digital museum objects to connect with peoples' stories? With limited resources, how should you prioritize what objects get digitized? How can digitized objects affect levels of donors' giving? How can smaller regional museums leverage digitized resources to affect geographic impact? How can organizations partner with other museums, and their digital objects, to complement a collection and tell a broader story?
