Abstract

Partnership is the watchword throughout Europe currently and libraries, museums and archives, with their wide areas of common interest, are well placed for collaborative working. In particular, technology is opening up the possibility of ever closer collaboration in the creation of a wealth of resources in digital form. While the United Kingdom plans to use digitisation, allied to changed administrative arrangements at national level, to integrate its museum, library and archive activities, the developments in collaboration in these areas in Europe also repay scrutiny.
