One by One UK-US is partnering with the Smithsonian Institution to advance new scholarship and practice in digital literacy for museums.

ObO UK-US is running from February to November 2020 over 5 phases – Discover, Define, Design, Deliver and Disseminate. Participating units include: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, National Air and Space Museum and the American Women’s History Initiative. Throughout our research we ask:  

  • What are the forms of organisational leadership, business processes, institutional cultures and professional practices that need to be in place, inside the museum, to support new forms of visitor experience and participation? 

  • How can new transatlantic partnerships between both existing and new communities of cultural organisations and digital scholars help to identify, understand and develop these new practices and processes? 

  • What are the effective and scalable collaborative tools and methods that can be used to support and sustain these new research partnerships within the profession and the academy?
