- Abstract:
- History museums are publishing collections online, often, without offering better ways to connect these collections to the many stories they can tell. Descriptions and online narratives still carry authoritative voices. This article explore some ways that history museums can use online digital spaces more intentionally to highlight multiple perspectives through stories or narratives, and accommodate multiple layers of context that enrich understanding of our pasts and presents.
