The National
Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage (NINCH)
is a diverse nonprofit coalition
of arts, humanities and social science organizations created to assure leadership from the
cultural community in the evolution of the digital
environment.
|
| The Initiative began in 1993 as a
collaborative project of The
American Council of Learned Societies, The
Coalition for Networked Information, and The Getty Information
Institute, an operating program of The
J. Paul Getty Trust . Humanities and Arts on the
Information Highways: A Profile was published in September 1994,
outlining the case for providing all Americans with
electronic access to the nation's cultural heritage and
identifying the issues and challenges in making this
possible. This report was, in many ways, a follow-up to
the chapter on "Arts, Humanities and
Culture on the NII," in the IITF's 1994 report, The Information
Infrastructure: Reaching Society's Goals. NINCH's founding
executive director was hired in March 1996.
