There are large political and economic vested interests in how individuals and groups perceive themselves and how they perceive, and are perceived by, others.  At stake are issues of identity, self-esteem, political loyalty, and the politics of patriotism and of ethnic identity.  Whose history is to be preserved and presented?   Whose account is to be presented?   How neutral can libraries, museums, textbooks, and the interpretations of historic sites be? The nature and political sensitivity of cultural heritages and ethnic identity force attention to basic issues concerning the nature and impact of information and its presentation beyond those usually studied in relation to information managment and information systems.
