The Co-Designing Encounters with Digital Cultural Heritage booklet can be downloaded here. The booklet
contains more detailed information than this website and was designed to serve as a resource for cultural heritage
professionals interested in co-design.
The website and the booklet are part of the D1.1 meSch deliverable. An abbreviated version of the accompanying report is available for download here.
If you are interested in reading more about the co-design perspective and activities in meSch, these are our publications related to co-design in both academic and cultural heritage-related venues:
