Delivering on the Promise of the Digital Smithsonian
Smithsonian Institution
By digitizing its collections and adopting a wide range of interactive tools, the Smithsonian can engage billions of people worldwide and power collaboration across nations and disciplines. The Smithsonian Institution can share its expertise and resources with K-12 schools and speed scientific discovery by giving scholars ready access to the Smithsonian's collections. By purposing technology, the Smithsonian Institution can better serve its founding mission--the increase and diffusion of knowledge. To gain Institution-wide synergy and focus, the Smithsonian Institution has outlined a digital action agenda that involves respected partners and sets the following priorities: (1) Use technology to enhance the visitor experience; (2) Digitize the collections; (3) Make Smithsonian digital content easy for the public to find and use; and (4) Spark engagement and participation among learners everywhere.
