Let's open up the GLAM sector! Spreading knowledge about open collections

How can we spread knowledge about open licenses in cultural heritage institutions? What kind of resources are needed and how can we reach small, rural and volunteer-run GLAMs? The Swedish National Heritage Board took these questions up in the webinar series “Open GLAM now!” to explore the possibilities and challenges of open cultural heritage institutions. Larissa Borck, the series' producer, will present “Open GLAM now!” as an example for outreach and knowledge dissemination around open licenses. We will discuss open licenses as a facilitating factor for GLAMs to succeed in going open.

Beyond open licencing – creating a truly open digital repository

Wellcome Collection is committed to providing a free and unrestricted digital space. Through our digitisation strategy, we aim to digitise our collections under open licences. We take a risk-managed approach to copyright to increase access to modern materials. We release our code as OS software, employ open APIs and have a strong preference for using open source software from others. We are transparent what we do, seek feedback from users and peers, and show our work. Such an open approach is proving beneficial to us and our users, far outweighing the risks, as this paper will demonstrate.

Speakers

Christy Henshaw

Digital Production Manager, Wellcome Collection

I manage a team who look after large-scale digitisation of books and special collections. I'm experienced with and interested in program management, workflows, copyright and licensing, Goobi, IIIF, procurement and working with suppliers and external partners.

Revivo Images: Ideas Pool

Presented last year as an idea, Revivo Images is launching its pilot. Revivo Images aims to connect creative minds in art and design world with the most on-demand imagery from across OpenGLAMs around the world. We invite participants to become co-creators of the platform by suggesting ideas to Ideal Pool. By reviewing the pilot and workflow, we will be looking at how to make the process of sourcing OpenGLAMs images for creators more diverse, more convenient, more supportive, more collaborative, more efficient, more inclusive, more participatory, and how to create new value for OpenGLAMs.

Declaration on Open Access for Cultural Heritage: towards a standard and equitable definition of Open Access for GLAMs

At last year’s CC Summit, we explored paths toward a revised set of principles around “Open GLAM”. This year, we will present developments on this, outline a revised approach to Open GLAM (tentatively called the “Declaration on Open Access for Cultural Heritage”), and discuss its wider implications. This session will provide historical background and context for the Declaration, as well as a detailed account of our estimated timelines, plans for communities outreach, and how we plan to incorporate feedback into the final Declaration.

CC online course for GLAM institution in Indonesia

Open GLAM movement is something new in Indonesia. Many GLAM institutions even do not have any program of digitization. Collaboration and open access seems so hard since mostly the people work in GLAM institutions are not technology savvy enough and far from knowing about copyright. Learning from this case, there should be a socialization about open GLAM and copyright for GLAM institutions in Indonesia. Considering that Indonesia is a large country, it would need a big team and a long term visit to each institution. I propose a short online course about creative commons for GLAMs in Indonesia.

Public Domain Day international: Next steps

Public Domain Day events raise awareness around the need to safeguard access to cultural heritage by ever-increasing copyright protection. It also advocates and encourages creative reuse. Until recently these events were organised independently. Closer cooperation was discussed at the 2019 CC Summit. This year all the events that took place, from Venezuela to Ghana, were gathered on pdday.org. In this session we'll discuss how the new network’s value can go beyond visibility and communication. For example: digitally gather an artist's oeuvre that is spread globally as linked open data.
