Aktuell wird die Präsentation solcher Sammlungen oft von Veränderungen in den Institutionen bestimmt. Dabei spielt die Disziplin- und Institutionsgeschichte ebenso eine Rolle wie der auf Einzelobjekte gelegte Fokus der Wissenschaft, wenn es um Provenienz und Ausstellungsmöglichkeiten geht.
Die Autor:innen behandeln die Herausforderungen und die Zukunft von Lehr- und Schausammlungen. Neben der Integration der Objekte in Forschung und Lehre werden Fragen der Präsentation heterogener Sammlungen und Unsicherheiten in der Eigentumslage von Objekten thematisiert.

At the same time, the parents are prohibited from actively using the account. In this way, the judges established binding standards for the use of social network accounts of deceased users. Beyond inheritance and data protection law, the judgment provides an opportunity to prompt ongoing discussions about sustainable ways of safeguarding, as well as providing access to, digital content. Against the backdrop of a jurisprudence sensitized to the humanities, the two authors encourage a reflection on “spaces”, “containers”, and more generally on the significance of digital media for our everyday lives and future generations.

This first notion addresses the subtle, yet complex relationship between technology and culture. In addition, we consider the criteria set for defining heritage in memory theorization. By doing so, we want to challenge the lack of uniform standards and approaches in dealing with digital cultural heritage and to give Aleida and Jan Assmann's Theory of Cultural Memory a normative dimension. Can there be a cultural memory of the digital age?

In doing so, they rely on cloud computing and servers, barely taking into consideration that this infrastructure may fail one day. Furthermore, the institutions seem to factor out that these attempts may be related to profound changes in the digital objects. Our paper aims to explore this situation by focusing on sustainability within the digital realm. In the deliberate process of saving born-digital content, should we run the risk of inadvertently losing the content’s individual character itself? Should we embrace the possibility that dynamic content might be transformed into purely static data – ceasing to be relevant for users? How can we find a solution, set between archiving and the continuous promotion of digital culture? Might it be, that born-digital cultural heritage is not made for storage? Has the eager preservation of cultural heritage become a historical oddity that...

Son futur, conditionné par la libéralité à laquelle est confronté le Musée des Beaux-Arts de Berne, est grevé de tout autant de questions, tant juridiques qu’éthiques. Le débat sur les recherches en matière de provenance des œuvres et objets d’art est rouvert.
