Description
In 2004, the Digital Cultural Institutions Project supported research on institutions involved in aggregating digital cultural resources and developing models of access to them. It promoted the integration of knowledge on a range of providers and mediators of digital cultural goods and services-from digital libraries and online museums to commercial online vendors of music and books, search engines and portals, open and collaborative knowledge archives, and file-sharing networks, among others. Seven fellows received grants to pursue projects in this area.
