The British Museums Documentation and Digitisation Programme is creating and enriching digital collection records; providing images, and enhancing metadata above our nationally recognised standards. Working across the collection, this ambitious programme plays a strategically vital role in enabling the Museums vision for greater access, scholarship and long-term collection stewardship.
