With Alexandre Matos

Documentation in museums is one of the most relevant and necessary tasks in view of the changes taking place in our society and the challenges it faces with digital transformation. In this seminar, we address the challenges faced by information and documentation professionals in museums in the face of technical issues, such as standardisation, technological evolution, mass demand and the diversity of existing means and, in the same way, in the face of ethical issues, such as accessibility, inclusion, equity, polyphony, colonial legacy and minorities.
