Review
“This is an important addition to the body of digital heritage literature and a strong indication not just of how far we have come in our practice but of how mature today discussion of this subject is.” — Dr Ross Parry “...offers sounds advice, tips and practical strategies that should prove useful to people in a wide range of cultural sector roles involved in managing and growing web presences.” — Business Archives “...informative, interesting and well written. The author is especially good at explaining clearly and effectively concepts that people without technical training might otherwise find difficult to understand. Numerous real-world examples are given and relevant research and policy literature pointed to. It will be of use to those working in cultural heritage organisations of all sizes irrespective of whether they have an already established or fledgling web presence.” — Journal of Documentation
