Europeana Keynote

My keynote on speed, change, and resilience for the Europeana Annual General Meeting in Lisbon today. (Actually, “keynote” seems so… lofty…It’s more accurately a 10 minute talk from my cold and windy back yard.)

Here’s the text of the talk too (.pdf).

Europeana is Europe’s digital cultural aggregator, providing public access to tens of millions of cultural resources from over 3,000 partner institutions. For as long as I can remember it has been a leader in the global movement to “open up” cultural collections and resources and share them with the world. #allezCulture #Europeana2019
