The National Initiative for a
Networked Cultural Heritage (NINCH)
is a diverse
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 (then known as The Getty Art History
Information Program).
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 and NINCH
is now broadening the base of its support and moving to a program of
concerted action.
