A short paper delivered at the Shakespeare Institute on Thurs 7 Feb based on the Digital CoPs and Robbers project. The paper communicates the main findings from the AHRC funded project and focuses on two communities of practice who took part: actors and academics. It suggest that the ways that actors and academics use museum artefacts reveals different ways of seeing the same material. Moreover, usage behaviour depends not only on an individual's membership of a community of practice but on the medium in which the artefact is engaged: physical or digital.
