Join Douglas McCarthy, Medhavi Gandhi and Harry Verwayen as they wrap up day 1 and look to an exciting second day exploring storytelling and digital cultural heritage
As Collections Engagement Manager at Europeana, Douglas supports Europeana’s mission by working with partner institutions to showcase their collections to online audiences. A key element of his work is developing Europeana’s thematic collections, especially on art and photography, to give users access to relevant and high-quality content from the corpus. Douglas's activities include editorial development, content curation and publication, in collaboration with Europeana's network of cultural heritage institutions. Variously as author, editor and producer, Douglas has been involved in the online exhibitions 'Visions of War' (2018), 'An Ecstasy of Beauty' (2017) in partnership with the Finnish National Gallery, 'Art Nouveau: A Universal Style' (2017), 'The Colossus of Leonardo da Vinci' (2016) with Museo Galileo, Florence, and 'Faces of Europe' (2016), a survey of European art from the medieval era to the present day, featured over 100 artworks from 28 countries.

About me
My professional career combines both my academic research on the digital object with my practice in the public cultural sector. I believe that digital resources not only sustain rich narratives but enable them to fold into cultural heritage – or unwrap from them to open up new pathways for self-directed learning and creative ways of thinking about self; past and present. Emeritus, Senior Curator of New Media and Head of the Internet Office at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Masters, and PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London in Media and Communications focused on electronic architectures in the contemporary museum.
