Sažetak
Development of information and communication technology (ICT) has opened up unprecedented possibilities for cultural heritage institutions, but also posed a new demand on them to make their collections widely available and accessible outside their institutional boundaries. Users no longer care where information (in the form of a book or an object) is physically located (say, in archive, library or museum) just as long as the resources they are looking for are well integrated, well-organized and easily accessible. Cultural heritage professionals and policy makers in many institutions/countries world wide have recognized the increasing importance of local cultural identity, and, combined with the potential of technology, initiated a number of collaborative cultural heritage initiatives world wide. The paper will outline theoretical framework for collaboration of cultural heritage institutions and present several successful collaborative initiatives. Special attention shall be given to EU project CALIMERA – Cultural Applications: Local Institutions Mediating Electronic Resources Access (www.calimera.org) which is a Coordination Action under the European Union's Information Society Technologies Framework Programme 6 (IST FP6) whose goal is to assist local cultural institutions – public libraries, museums and archives – to gradually develop a base that would enable them to apply and develop innovative technologies and joint strategies for serving ordinary citizens in their everyday lives. Also, a short account of ALM initiatives in Croatia will be given.
