The trend of digitizing analogue artefacts from cultural heritage collections to create cultural digital items. The user experience
of Cultural Heritage Practitioners (CHP) must be understood in order to support academic efforts in producing practical
contributions that benefit those working with cultural digital items. In this publication we follow a series of semi-structured
interviews with 10 CHPs and supporting technical professionals who work with cultural digital items on a daily basis. We then
code their responses for theme, analysing their thoughts and concerns regarding key topics connected to cultural digital items
such as interactivity and the challenges of digitization within the culture heritage sector
