The ”Digital Heritage – Culture for the Future” seminar held on 17 June 2009 in the Column Hall of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland was part of the celebrations of World Information Day. The event was addressed to representatives of the authorities and the state administration as well as institutions that influence policies concerned with the protection and access of the national heritage. The intention of the seminar was to present the digitalisation of the national heritage and the suitable storage and access of Polish digital objects via the internet for the sake of the presence of Polish culture in Europe and the world as well as for the identity of Polish society. The seminar discussed fundamental problems associated with digitalisation and examples of projects implemented in Poland. The summary stressed that digitalisation is not tantamount to plans for the next five or seven years, but signifies permanent activity connected with civilisational transformation.
