“NUMMI DIGITALI”: approcci innovativi per la conoscenza, gestione e valorizzazione del patrimonio numismatico del Museo Archeologico Regionale “A. Salinas” di Palermo’

The subject of the contribution is the “NUMMI DIGITALI” project which aims to enhance the numismatic collection of the Archaeological Museum “A. Salinas” in Palermo, closed to public use for over seventy years, which will become accessible thanks to the close interrelationship between numismatic-archaeological methodologies and the IT approach. The project, curated by Lavinia Sole, Numismatics researcher at the Culture and Society Department of the University of Palermo, within the PON "Research and Innovation" 2014-2020, Axis IV-Action IV.4, provides for the creation of a digital database, in line with the standards and cataloging tools of the ICCD and with the methodological guidelines of the National Plan for the digitization of the cultural heritage of the MiC; the interconnection of the database with the web for a real use through the potential offered by ICT; the activation of interactive communication processes with the user through high-resolution photographs and 3D renderings featuring points of interest with references to hypertexts and/or multimedia.
