Clifford Lynch talks about the future of cultural heritage collections and collecting:

Interview date: March 3, 2010
Denver, Colorado

Summary:
Lynch believes that the future of cultural heritage collections and collecting in the digital age will be dominated by massive amounts of casually created video content created by amateurs and families. People cannot manage their own images now, but the technology may be able to do it for them, with the development of georeferencing embedded in cell phones and cameras. He believes we will have collections that represent themselves with their own organizational schemes that may not reflect the “official” schemas of cultural heritage cataloging. Lynch believes that this is a question we must think about now: What will our collections look like in 2050?
