Digital Collections Dissemination Office Newsletter
Since June 2010, the Office for the Digital Dissemination of Collections of the French Museum Service has been offering you a newsletter on the computerization, on-line publishing and digitization of museum collections. Its formula was renewed in September 2021, and its distribution expanded.
What can I find in this newsletter?
It is thanks to this publication that the office of digital dissemination of collections informs you every month of events of interest to the digital (study days, trainings, monthly update of payments on Mona Lisa or new resources put online or referenced by the French Museum Service).
In a more in-depth way, we will also ask you about more advanced issues combining digital and museum collections, developed on the Museums site in particular.
How to be informed of new numbers?
Our 6,500 subscribers are notified on their email of new numbers.
For those who would like to join us, it is possible to subscribe to receive the letter directly on its email, using the form below.
Back numbers
The focus published each quarter is most often a perennial, reference information. This is why previous issues are always accessible.
