The workshop on Information Access to Cultural Heritage (IACH 2008) was held during the ECDL conference in Aarhus on the 18th September 2008. The workshop provided a venue to bring together academics carrying out research in the area of information access and practitioners working in the cultural heritage field. The aim was to encourage the exchange of ideas concerning the creation, curation, storage, retrieval and use of cultural heritage information. The day began with a keynote paper by Chris Batt, who looked to the future, challenging the audience to think of uses of technology to make sense of the landscape for users, shifting focus of information access to cultural heritage from search to find . The keynote was followed by a session on the European Digital Library with invited papers by Stefan Gradmann on the infrastructure of Europeana and by Rob Davies on work to develop the content of the Library in the EuropeanaLocal project. The proceedings continued with a series of papers on services being developed to provide access to cultural heritage collections and a wide range of media -- images, text, music and speech. A lively series of poster boasters followed and the day concluded with the poster session and a panel discussion on future directions. Given the attendance at the workshop and the good level of discussion throughout the day, we conclude that Information Access to Cultural Heritage is a growing area of research and promising area for exchange and collaboration between researchers and practitioners.
