The AAI launched the Digging Digital Museum Collections Project in
November 2020. The aim of the program is to better leverage digitized
museum collections and related digital resources for public engagement,
instruction, and lifelong learning. In addition, this program will
explore training and consulting services for partner institutions to
make better public engagement uses of their digitized collections and
data. The program is run by Dr. Pinar Durgun, who joined the AAI in November 2020
as Curator for Digital Collections Interpretation and Public
Engagement. This program will work in conjunction with both the Data
Literacy Program and the AAI’s sustainability work. This program is
supported by individual donations and by the AAI’s National Endowment for the Humanities Infrastructure and Capacity-Building Challenge Grant.
