In the context of our increasingly globalized and digitalizedworld, libraries and archives are experiencing major changes.The methods used internationally to collect cultural heritageand other historical material are shifting, as new media haveadded important innovative tools for gathering, preserving,and sharing information around the globe.

This means that critical reflectionon both the contents of collections and methods of acquisitionis crucial.The International Information Center and Archives for theWomens Movement (IIAV) in Amsterdam provides a case studyin how to approach these issues. It considered such questionsas how to make optimal use of new media, and whose historiesshould be represented in its archives.In Traveling Heritages, international and national heritageexperts from academic, library, and archival professions reflectupon these questions, offering new perspectives on documentingwomens histories.
