"This 1940 painting, ""Boerentram,"" or streetcar, by Henri Victor Wolvens and residing in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts at Antwerp, Belgium, is one of millions of objects in European collections that are part of  national digitization strategies. Many countries' archives and museums are  posting images of their paintings, artifacts and documents online for public use anywhere the Internet reaches. In Canada, digitization is happening in fits and starts and without much push from Ottawa."
