Abstract [en]

What do we mean by successful digitisation of Indigenous cultural heritage? Beyond the ambition to convert cultural heritage materials into accessible and shareable digital formats, we need to ask who can benefit from this process, and how to make it profitable for Indigenous communities themselves. Research about the factors and implications of the digital divide has mostly focused on issues of physical access such as connection, computers, etc.; i.e., the economic divide. The complexity of digital divides also includes a second level addressing the usability divide; i.e., in relation to skills and literacy. However, a third level, called empowerment divide and addressing the benefits and outcomes of usage, has been much less researched. This chapter addresses this third level of divide in relation to Indigenous cultural heritage; i.e., the social and cultural benefits for Indigenous users and communities, based on the study of Sami cultural heritage in two portals, Europeana and Nuohtti.
