Glad to see so many members rapidly joining the group! This group will hopefully become a fruitful hub for cross-institutional collaboration on projects and issues concerning material culture throughout the city. The potential for this collaboration to happen in NYC is particularly mouth-watering as the city is home to not only a slew of top notch educational institutions, but also probably the most significant aggregation of cultural heritage institutions on the planet. Hopefully this group will prove a useful catalyst for finding how to best exploit the spaces between those institutions by using digital technologies in new and compelling ways.

As membership in this group climbs and the NYCH platform expands, I look forward to finding ways to bring this working group together both in digital and meat space, perhaps as early as this summer. Welcome!
