abstract = "This chapter shows that even if we connect all available data, migration stories will always contain blind spots and alter the past, as some perspectives will always be overexposed while others remain underrepresented. One of the pitfalls of large-scale digitisation meant is to reconcile the perspectives of the institutional and the individual, of governments and marginalised groups. On the other hand it is necessary to recognise digitised heritage{\textquoteright}s ability to connect, network, enable, and enhance conversations across scales, and across geographical and political boundaries. Our contribution draws on Dutch Australian migration stories to offer evidence for how digitisation can profoundly transform heritage and the ways in which it is used, not as something of the past but as something on which to construct a different future.",
