From this page, you can select and read papers from the Significance 2.0 Workshop, held on 30 April 2008 in Canberra, Australia.
The purpose of the Workshop was to inform the second, revised edition of Significance: A guide to assessing the significance of cultural heritage objects and collections (2001). A particular focus was to consider the concept of significance across the four major collecting domains (archives, galleries, libraries and museums).
