Communication and information technologies are changing the dynamics and scope of memory construction, display and understanding in a networked society (Castells, 2010). In this context a number of issues associated with cultural heritage information systems and services are yet to be adequately addressed, for example in relation to content organization and access, users outreach and sustainability (Ruthven and Chowdhury 2015). This opens the possibility for local cultural institutions to gain a greater understanding of migrants’ individual and community needs in relation to their services, address shortfalls in collections, and contribute to cultural citizenship (Delanty 2007).<br class=""><br class="">Project objectives includes:<br class="">* Exploring novel methods and tools to embed, manage, access and re‐use migrant’s tangible and intangible heritage in local cultural institutions collections and services;<br class="">* Investigating information seeking behaviours, perceptions and attitudes of migrants and minority groups in relation to local cultural institutions;<br class="">* Enhancing current social inclusion practices in local cultural institutions.<br class=""><br class="">The PGR student will work with local institutions so that impact measures can be developed.<br class=""><br class="">The PGR student will join the vibrant research environment of the iSchool at University of Northumbria, Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences, (<a href="https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/academic-departments/mathematics-and-information-sciences/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/academic-departments/mathematics-and-information-sciences/</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>), part of the iSchools organization worldwide (</span><a href="https://mail.campus.gla.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?REF=iEFD1cimn3f3nDaBloSjgoDTOpwm84sc8269jhxyacUvDZJIijvTCAFodHRwOi8vaXNjaG9vbHMub3JnLw.." target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">http://ischools.org/</a><span style="" class="">) dedicated to advancing the information field.
