CHIN's Digital Heritage Symposium

Making the Connection: Museums, Visitors and New Technologies

New technologies are bringing institutions and their audiences together in new and exciting ways. From social media to wearable computing, recent technological advancements have offered the public a fresh perspective of heritage content – in the classroom, in the museum, in communities, and online.
