Any #Histodons or #GLAM folks know of a fairly comprehensive list of digitally accessible #WWII#OralHistory projects? Particularly interested in soldiers oral histories, but not exclusively.
Ok, draft Zotero translator for PROV collection is capturing item metadata, a link to generate a PDF, a like to IIIF manifest, saving the first page image (if digitised). Anything else that would be useful?
At the @internetarchive a light blinks on their servers every time you use their collections. What a great way to visualise the impact of free access to knowledge. Do not take libraries, museums or archives for granted, we must defend them at all costs! https://www.battleforlibraries.com
We're an independent, community-focused organization that wants to figure out how to keep #Flickr around for 100 years, preserving our shared visual #commons for future generations.
The Scottish Traditional Music Archive Directory is now live! 🥳
The directory brings together organisations in and outside Scotland with collections of Scottish traditional music.
Users can identify collection holders, find information on their catalogues, get in touch with them, and compare collections from different organisations.
Sites like this do not work unless they are open-sourced, and partnered by a #GLAM with a longevity plan. This should be considered at inital development in order to be compatable with larger systems and standardised. It will avoid mountains of expensive work in the future.
This website now redirects to blogspam of dogs in costumes (cute, though!). Just because you want to be the first one to do it, does not mean it is the right way to do it.
From LSE Library: "Some hobbies and pastimes including "Hot Cockles", "Hoodman blind" and "Animals imitated", from 1801 rare book "Glig-Gamena Angel-Deod, or the Sports and Pastimes of the People of England’"
Wie können Provenienzforschende in Museen, Archiven, Bibliotheken oder privaten Sammlungen mit freien und offenen Projekten wie #Wikidata, #Wikibase oder #Wikipedia Kulturdaten organisieren, vernetzen und zugänglich machen?
Darum ging es bei „Provenance Loves Wiki“ in Praxis-Inputs und rund 15 Barcamp-Sessions in zwei Tagen.
PSA: Flickr.org is a thing. An important thing. I did not know if its existence until moments ago, and maybe you did. But maybe you didn’t, so maybe you’ll be as delighted as I am to learn this thing is a thing.
"…a November judgment from the UK Court of Appeal means #museums can’t go on claiming #copyright in photographs of #publicdomain art works. Museums have used this claim to create costly licensing schemes. For art history books and dissertations that need the images for discussion, the costs are often prohibitive. And, it turns out, the #GLAM sector isn’t even profiting from it."
