Libraries, Archives and Museums as Democratic Spaces in a Digital Age

By Sunnica Evjen and Tonje Vold

Libraries, archives and museums have traditionally been a part of the public sphere's infrastructure.

Digitization and globalization poses new challenges in relation to upholding a sustainable public sphere. Can libraries, archives and museums contribute in meeting these challenges?
