Reassessment of the role of the archive in the digital environment serves to develop critical approaches to current trends in the broader heritage sector, including cultural industries experimenting with sustainable business models for cultural production, digitization of analogue cultural heritage, and the related intellectual property issues surrounding the re-use of digital objects and data for research, education, advocacy and art.
