A discussion with cultural heritage leaders on the current and future state of digitization

Wider Lens is a live podcast that brings the cultural heritage community together for conversations with practitioners shaping our field.

Each episode features a one-on-one discussion between Patrick McDonough, Head of Marketing at Digital Transitions, and a guest deeply involved in cultural heritage digitization—spanning museums, libraries, archives, and related institutions worldwide.

These conversations go beyond surface-level overviews to explore:
•Real-world digitization projects and workflows
•Preservation imaging standards, QA, and technical decision-making
•Lessons learned from complex or large-scale programs
•The human side of digitization: collaboration, institutional constraints, and career-long perspectives
•Where digitization, imaging standards, and access are heading next—and how we can improve them

Each session is recorded live, allowing attendees to:
•Watch the full conversation in real time
•Submit questions directly to the guest during a live Q&A
•Engage with peers across the global cultural heritage community

Following the live event, each session is released as a podcast episode so the conversation can continue beyond the webinar—on your own time, at work, or wherever you listen.

This series is designed for professionals working in digitization, imaging, conservation, collections, and program management who value both technical rigor and open dialogue.
