Since 2018, we have been eagerly searching – in collaboration with the Flemish Department of Culture, Youth and Media, FARO - Flemish Institution for Cultural Heritage) and the former VKC - Flemish Art Collection – for a system to replace the former provincial heritage databases, Erfgoedplus and Erfgoedinzicht. This quest recently came to an end as we, along with the jury, unanimously chose Swiss company zetcom and their web-based collection management software solution, MuseumPlus. 

After a decade of research and projects centred around persistent identification, we felt it was high time for a study day. Because what has happened in the field of persistent identification within the heritage sector since 2013? Where does the sector stand today and what are the challenges for the future? On 19 September, we met with numerous partners from archive institutions, libraries and museums to discuss this issue.

This document pertains to the selection of the Flemish Heritage Database, a new centrally administered collection management system with accompanying services. We initiated this tender in 2023.

In 2019, meemoo launched the Digital Maturity Self-Assessment Tool, requested by the Flemish Department of Culture, Youth and Media. This online tool helps organisations from the broader cultural field assess how digitally mature they are. Now, three years later, we’ve conducted an extensive analysis based on the answers from organisations that completed the Self-Assessment Tool non-anonymously.

We receive more and more helpdesk requests in our virtual letterbox every year. In 2020, we counted almost 300 requests for advice from over 150 different people and organisations. But who actually calls on our services, what requests do they make, and what do they think of us? We explain everything here.

At meemoo, we’re extremely proud of the well-stocked toolbox we use to support you and your work. In order to give organisations a helping hand with specific expertise tools, we organised a first coaching day on 22 October 2020 – with DPF Manager, CultURIze and the Digital Maturity Self-Assessment Tool taking centre stage.
