Abstract

This article focuses on the problematic democratization of small museum collections online in Cyprus. While the web has enabled cultural heritage organizations to democratize information to diverse audiences, numerous small museums do not enjoy the fruits of this digital revolution; many of them cannot democratize their collections online. The current literature provides insight into small and large museums’ challenges worldwide. However, we do not have any knowledge concerning small Cypriot museums. This article aims to fulfill this gap by raising the following research question: What is the current state of small museum collections online in Cyprus, and what challenges do they face in democratizing their collections online? We present our empirical results from the interview summaries gathered from six small museums.

小型博物馆藏品网上民主化的现状与挑战

这篇文章的重点是问题的民主化的小型博物馆收藏在塞浦路斯在线。虽然网络使文化遗产组织能够向不同的受众普及信息，但许多小型博物馆并没有享受到这场数字革命的成果;他们中的许多人无法在网上普及他们的收藏。目前的文献提供了对世界范围内小型和大型博物馆所面临挑战的见解。但是，我们对塞浦路斯的小型博物馆没有任何了解。本文旨在通过提出以下研究问题来弥补这一差距:塞浦路斯小型博物馆在线收藏的现状如何，他们在在线收藏民主化方面面临哪些挑战?我们从六个小型博物馆收集的访谈摘要中提出了我们的实证结果。
