Digital Engagement Network
Museums, galleries and archives from across the East Midlands are working together to explore a variety of digital and social media tools.The aim is to enable communities to engage with the region’s diverse collections in experimental new ways and to share these across the region.This website showcases some of the projects which are running as part of the region’s Digital Engagement Network. Types of project include film making, audio trails, animations and oral history.

DEN projects are about generating new audiences through social-networking online. They can also be about learning and community projects that involve a digital element that we want to celebrate online, such as filmmaking, audio, digital art or music.DEN projects will enable our audiences to interact with collections and re-interpret them for the 21st Century. DEN projects digitally capture the results of engagement between museums and local communities. Resources are shared and online engagement is promoted with audiences and collections through Google Maps, YouTube, Flickr and Facebook. There are links to museums own websites from the project pages.
