The Sisimiut Museum determined in 2000 to make the cultural heritage of Greenland available on the Internet. Culture Greenland was opened in 2002, and is a portal to many aspects of Greenland and its history. The northermost Internet cafe in the world is located here.

Says Andreas Sakariassen, a hunter from Innaarsuit, "You have now opened an Internet Cafe. It must not be closed again, because then we will be missing something in our lives. There will be an emptiness."

Within Culture Greenland, one of the main sources of information is the National Image Database. Both modern and historic subject matter are collected from all over Greenland and outside the country as a result of software developed by the Sisimiut Museum. Over 100 local image databases exist as independent units which are not accessible from the Internet.

Software developed by Sisimiut Museum is distributed free of charge to private persons, organizations and companies who commit themselves to provide images to the main database.
