Object literacy is a relatively new term that has grown out of object-based learning (OBL), a fundamental approach to teaching the practice of museum and library work. The increasing availability of digital images and texts makes objects more accessible than ever. There is an increasing interest in the physicality of the object or text, and a growing understanding of the need to understand objects and texts in the fullest, most comprehensive context.
