Welsh Government releases Digital Strategy Template for museums

Headland Design was appointed by Welsh Government to support staff, volunteers and trustees working in Welsh museums to look strategically at their digital activities and to consider how they could better use digital technology across all aspects of their work for the benefit of the museum, its collections and visitors. Helping museums to think strategically about how they employ digital elements will equip staff, volunteers and trustees to improve a range of operations, including collections management and documentation, digital preservation, interpretation, marketing, digital events and providing for online users.

The Digital Strategy Template has been produced as guidance for museums wishing to write a digital strategy. Although designed with Welsh museums in mind, the Digital Strategy Template could be used by museums across the UK, together with other organisations within the cultural sector, such as archives and libraries, as many of the themes are cross-cutting.

This guide is to help museum workers use digital technology better to benefit their museum, its collections and its visitors.
