Abstract:
The present text discusses how museums work technically with the continuous
increase of the digital cultural objects present in the museological institutions and that also
become part of its cultural patrimony. The objective is to demonstrate that the collaborative
environment of the Web Network of Museums of the State of Rio de Janeiro can stimulate the
offer of integrated information services with the other cultural institutions through the digital
curation of this material, encouraging the sharing and reuse of these cultural digital
collections. The methodology of this research is developed in three stages: literature review,
identification of ongoing experiments in digital curation and reuse of digital objects and oral
interviews. It was possible to confirm the digital curatorship as a resource for the control and
maintenance of the technical treatment of cultural digital objects, reusing them for the
expansion of knowledge and dissemination of information and at the end, some of the new
services that could be offered by the Web Network of Museums.
