[email protected] Towards a Definition of Digital Narratives in Art Museums María Isabel Hidalgo Urbaneja BA in Fine Arts MA in Publishing, Journalism, and Cultural Management Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Studies School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow January 2020 © María Isabel Hidalgo Urbaneja 2020 Abstract This thesis defines art museums’ online resources as narratives in response to the following question: How can online resources, such as online exhibitions, online publications, and similar resources, be accurately and systematically defined? The aim of this definition is to provide a detailed, clear, and critical understanding of certain types of online resources, namely online exhibitions and online publications, that share attributes and functions. The two types of online resources contain and display exhibitions and artworks information, use similar interfaces and media, can serve similar audiences, and narrate the stories of the artworks.
