LONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The British Museum said on Wednesday it planned to digitise its entire collection, citing the need to secure public access to its vast catalogue after it reported in August that 2,000 artefacts had been stolen or were missing.

The museum, one of the most visited in the world, has been dealing with the aftermath of the thefts, which highlighted internal failings and led to the exit of its director.

“Essentially we were the victims of an inside job by someone we believe, who over a long period of time was stealing from the museum and who the museum had put trust in,” its Chair George Osborne told parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport committee.

The museum, which holds treasures such as the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon marbles, sacked a member of staff over the thefts, which are also being investigated by London’s Metropolitan Police.

“We have taken steps to improve security and are now confident that a theft of this kind can never happen again,” the museum’s interim director, Mark Jones, said in a statement.

The museum, which has resisted calls from many countries, including Greece, to repatriate historical treasures over the years, launched a public hotline last month appealing for help in locating the stolen items.
