Networks and Portals

The Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz is a participant in numerous networks with the purpose of structuring and coordinating digitization. The Foundation is also involved in developing national and international portals that provide worldwide access to digital cultural heritage.

The Foundation contributes its experiences and resources in the field of digitization to a number of collaborative projects and networks. These are often concerned with establishing and coordinating workable structures.
