Abstract: Commercial exploitation of cultural heritage in memory institutions is discussed in the context of the new ways of performing essential heritage access and preservation functions and challenges that arise implementing digitization projects. In the light of the insufficient memory institutions budgets commercial promotion of cultural heritage is analyzed as an alternative financial source indicating the possible niches in the digital services market. The main focus is on education (new trends and concepts - educommerce, edutainment) and tourism (cultural tourism), though other commercial services are also mentioned. Memory institutions and private sector partnership performing commercial activities is emphasized.
