DARIAH: Core communities for collaboration: Libraries, Archives and Museums as essential partners in digital arts and humanities research

The mission of DARIAH, the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities, is to empower research communities with digital methods to create, connect and share knowledge about culture and society. Digital methods are a cornerstone of what we do, ensuring we focus on how technology is transforming not objects, but activities. For us, the digital is not a goal in itself, but a means to explore, discover and grow. Libraries, Archives and Museums are essential partners in this endeavour. DARIAH is committed to continuing to encourage, facilitate and celebrate this collaboration at the core of what we do. In this presentation a number of examples of existing partnerships with cultural heritage communities will be introduced, as well as proposing one or two suggestions for future collaborations.
