Digitisation offers cultural institutions such as museums, libraries, and archives an opportunity to make their collections available to a broader public.

If you are interested in participating in Kulturpool as a partner institution, allow us to draw your attention to the following resources:

The information platform Kulturpool bundles knowledge and expertise transfer offers for partner institutions interested in or already participating in Kulturpool. New knowledge offers in the form of webinars and online cafés can be found regularly on the platform, and its knowledge database on all topics relating to aggregation is constantly being expanded. Additionally, there is a forum for existing partner institutions to exchange information on the digitisation process and technical topics.

Our knowledge database gives you everything you need to know about digitising your collections and making them part of Kulturpool, from simple checklists to detailed technical documentation. Our knowledge database is constantly being expanded.

Currently, the knowledge database is only available in German.

We also offer webinars and online cafés on topics such as metadata standards, copyright and Iconclass to share knowledge about the digitisation of cultural heritage.

The moderated, closed “Wissensforum” (a forum for sharing knowledge) for our current partner institutions serves to exchange information, share approaches and answer specific questions.
