Digitizing archival records of a professional association: benefits and chall...Steven Chang
This document summarizes a seminar presentation about the challenges and benefits of digitizing archival records from a professional association. Key points include: the project aims to develop guidelines for digitizing the records of CPA Australia to improve access; the records document the social history of the accounting profession; challenges include managing file sizes, securing dedicated staff, and addressing intellectual property issues; benefits include remote access, new analytical methods, and connecting dispersed records.
Potential Role of Libraries in post-conflict societiesFeda Kulenovic
Libraries have a potential of transforming post-conflict societies to a better future and can take communities away from conflict into creative space where dialogue can be exercised. Libraries can also lead an effort of educating informally ex-combatants and local communities in information literacy that will eventually give them additional skills they can use to obtain employment and economic prosperity. Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the examples where that possibility was missed. In Afghanistan where illiteracy is high and conflict lasts constantly for more than 20 years libraries could be spaces where local communities and everyone else will gain new knowledge and skills that will drive them away from the conflict. This isn't an easy task and it requires a lot of planning. I would like to discuss different advantages but also possible obstacles potential librarians could face in post-conflict environment based on some of my experiences and some theories that have emerged from them.

The British Library's Digital Research Team supports new ways of exploring and accessing the Library's digital collections through computational methods like machine learning, data visualization, and text mining. The Team collaborates on projects that make more content available digitally, and provides training and guidance to researchers. Examples of projects include crowdsourcing accent maps, analyzing patterns in music history from bibliographic data, and transcribing and georeferencing placenames from historical texts.
The document discusses best practices for collaboration between museums and Wikipedia. It outlines challenges such as copyright issues and concerns about quality and control. However, it emphasizes that partnerships between experts and volunteers can exponentially increase quality information. Specific successful collaborations are highlighted, like Wikipedians-in-residence and editing contests. Museums are encouraged to engage students and share content under Creative Commons to overcome challenges and spread knowledge.
This document provides information about TEDxWilmington, a local event that sparks conversation through presentations. It defines TEDx as independently organized events licensed by TED that allow communities to host TED-like talks. The summary then outlines TEDxWilmington's history of over 20 events since 2009 with over 400,000 YouTube views. Finally, it lists various ways for people to get involved by volunteering with coordinating, curating speakers, event management and more.
Based on a review of the most successful international crowdsourcing projects, this talk will look at the attributes of successful crowdsourcing projects in cultural heritage, including interface and interaction design, participation in community discussion, and understanding participant motivations.

FryskLab - Education, innovation and maker culture in the libraryFers
FryskLab is an initiative of Library Service Friesland (Bibliotheekservice Fryslân, BSF) and the Frisian public library network. Friesland is a rural province in the northern part of the Netherlands and FryskLab, operating from a truck formerly used as a bookmobile, is Europe’s first official library FabLab, or “fabrication laboratory”. Its varied team consists of IT specialists, arts management professionals and librarians, and its goal is to examine the extent to which this mobile FabLab initiative contributes to the development of creative, technical and entrepreneurial skills of children and young adults. The project is ultimately expected to result in an increase of the innovative capacities of the entire province of Friesland.
Officially launched in 2014, FryskLab has so far received a number of awards, including the American Library Association’s (ALA) 2017 Presidential Citations for Innovative International Library Projects award. Making knowledge and sharing the future, the motto of the FryskLab project, reinforces the role of libraries in facilitating access to various “tools of knowledge” (equipment and technology) and providing support in the form of various educational and training programmes, effectively bringing together physical and digital, traditional and modern means of acquiring knowledge.

The document outlines discussions from three groups at a workshop. Group 1 discussed ways to keep a research network active through activities like workshops, training, small grants, and continuing collaboration. Group 2 identified potential funding sources for future work, including various European grants and fellowships. Group 3 brainstormed research topics the network could explore, such as methodologies for digital infrastructure, social media, museums, and issues around diversity, news, and conspiracies.
The Teylers Challenge: Working Together from Shared IdealsSandra Fauconnier
Presentation by Geert-Jan Janse (Teylers) & Sandra Fauconnier (Wikimedia NL) for the GLAM-Wiki conference, April 2013, British Library, UK. https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI_2013
The Dutch chapter of Wikimedia and Teyler Museum organised a writing challenge from January till June 2012 to expand the coverage on various topics related to Teylers Museum and its rich collections. Curators and Wikipedians have successfully worked together, resulting in over 300 new articles in more then 13 languages, including Esperanto,Catalan and Volapük. Why did this project take place, how was it organised, what were our experiences, what are the lessons learned and how do we hope to continue our fruitful collaboration?
On 18th June 2008, 20 or so people met for a day of mashing - taking museum-related data sources and connecting them together in a range of different ways. This is what we got up to.

This document discusses using Wikipedia in college classrooms. It notes that 10 years ago students were told not to cite Wikipedia, but it is now ubiquitous. It asks if this access to information makes us smarter and if we know how to use it. The document argues that Wikipedia is important for understanding societal changes in knowledge production. It also argues that Wikipedia offers unique teaching opportunities and that academics should engage with it rather than ignore it, as students want to understand and participate. It provides resources for educators to utilize Wikipedia.
This document summarizes a citizen science project that engaged 3000 people from Greater Manchester to analyze number patterns in sunflowers. The project had people crowdsource data, provided educational resources on Turing and number patterns, and generated a media story about the results. It discusses lessons learned around building community partnerships and providing support and recognition to contributors. The project created opportunities for post-disciplinary research while expanding its reach and promoting learning.

Europeana is a digital platform that aggregates digitized content from museums, libraries, archives and audiovisual collections across Europe. National and thematic aggregators provide content to Europeana from various cultural heritage institutions within their member states or domains. Europeana has grown its collection significantly since 2008, with the target of 28 million digitized books, paintings, films, museum objects and archival records by 2015. Europeana provides value to cultural heritage institutions by exposing their digital collections to a broader international audience and enabling new ways for the content to be used.
This document summarizes a project that aims to enhance local cultural tourism by creating personalized guided tours using digital cultural heritage resources. It presents a demo of an interactive tour of locations associated with Mozart in Vienna. The tour generates a walking route between points of interest, provides relevant contextual information from Europeana and Wikipedia, and allows tourists to leave their own comments and reviews. The goal is to make cultural routes more engaging and accessible through simple, mobile-optimized tools that provide personalized access to aggregated cultural heritage assets without language barriers.

The presentation focuses on the challenges and opportunities of transmedia storytelling in media history.
The massive digitization of historical sources and their online availability have a deep impact on the practice of doing history in the digital age and require new forms of historical research and storytelling. Drawing from studies in digital storytelling and multimedia narratives, this lecture aims at exploring new forms of non-linear historical storytelling online. In addition, it will address tensions between disciplinary traditions and a lack of scholarly recognition of new genres and formats of online scholarship.

The document discusses challenges museums face in being truly inclusive and participatory. It notes that while museums value personal contributions, they still maintain ownership and control over interpretive decisions. Museums celebrate in-depth work with small groups but worry about including enough people. There is a tension between museums appropriating people's histories versus professional standards of accessibility. The document raises questions about how museums can make decisions in democratic and representative ways, and explores alternative models of community development, activism, and non-hierarchical networks.
Forever In Between : similarities and differences, opportunities and responsa...Saskia Scheltjens
Saskia Scheltjens discussed the evolving landscape of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) in an era of digitization and open data. She outlined both the similarities and differences between these communities, as well as opportunities for greater collaboration. While LAMs historically developed separately, there is now a push for convergence driven by the increasing availability of digital information. However, fully integrating these communities remains an ongoing challenge. Scheltjens highlighted several promising projects and principles that could help facilitate more cooperation between LAMs in the future.

Cover slide: still from Lucio Arese, Les Dieux Changeants, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAHmAj0QrHk&t=1s
The document discusses the concept of openness in museums and cultural institutions. It argues that as the world becomes more connected through technology, cultural resources should also become more openly accessible and available for reuse. However, many institutions still enclose resources through lack of digitization, restrictive terms of use, or concerns over control, revenue, and resources. The document advocates for a more open approach in line with concepts like open access, open data, and Creative Commons licensing to promote broad participation in and benefit from cultural and scientific resources.
Wikimedia and GLAMs in Swedish classroomsSara Mörtsell
This document discusses how openness in mainstream classrooms in Sweden can be advanced through partnerships between Wikipedia and cultural heritage institutions (GLAMs). It describes several existing Swedish projects that involve students contributing to and learning from open online platforms like Wikimini (a Swedish Wikipedia for students), Platser (a crowdsourced landscape history site), and Stockholm Digital Archives. These projects engage students in representing and learning about local culture and history. The document argues that such partnerships can give students ownership over local history, engage them in both physical and digital spaces, and introduce them to open online communities and resources.
The document discusses making cultural heritage widely available and reusable online. It argues that cultural institutions should digitize their collections and make them openly accessible on the internet so that anyone, anywhere can enjoy and learn from the collections. Doing so allows the collections to have much greater reach and impact than being limited to physical museum spaces. The document provides examples of projects from the National Gallery of Denmark that have brought artworks to new audiences and contexts through open digitization and online platforms like Wikipedia. It advocates for cultural institutions to measure their impact and success in terms of online engagement and use, not just physical visits.
The OpenGLAM community: promoting free & open access to digital cultural heritage | Lieke Ploeger, Open Knowledge Foundation at http://books2ebooks.eu/eod2014
This document summarizes an interview with Merete Sanderhoff, a project researcher at the Danish National Gallery about openness and sharing of cultural works. The interview discusses how providing open access to works and removing restrictions on use can increase awareness and engagement with cultural works. It notes that this approach allows others to build upon and spread knowledge of the works. While it may mean losing some control and potential revenue, the benefits of a larger audience and community of supporters who help promote the works are seen as outweighing these concerns.
"Let's marathon!" Why to motivate the reuse of audiovisual archivesMariana Salgado
This article presents the argument that archivists and media scholars need to take on new practices, such as organizing hackathons or marathons, to facilitate the creative re-use of archival material. With these practices they could support the outreach of local communities and understand the nuances of reusing archival content to contextualize their records. In order to sustain this claim, I present one case study in which a group of international writers and video makers join forces to re-use audiovisual archive material in Helsinki, Finland. I unfold the limitations and opportunities that a one-day event presented to artists, archivists and media scholars, while collaborating and creatively re-using audiovisual archival material. The discussion uncovers issues pertaining to the facilitation of creative re-use as means for integration, the multicultural representation of the archives, the development of media literacy in collaborative processes and the challenges in the practice of legally reusing archival material.
From the Cabinets of Curiosities to Museums as a Social ExperienceCostas Papadopoulos
This document outlines a lecture on the evolution of museums from early cabinets of curiosities to modern institutions that serve social and cultural experiences. It discusses the transition from private wonder chambers to established museums in the 17th-18th centuries aimed at building national identities and promoting science. In the 20th century, wars, recession, and reassessment led museums to focus on being societal institutions supporting social and cultural resources. The lecture will next discuss how digital technologies and mobile apps are transforming museum experiences and engaging visitors through personal, social, and physical contexts.
The document discusses the roles and relationships between GLAMs (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums), Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia, and the digital preservation of cultural heritage materials. It outlines how GLAMs provide expertise and optimal conditions for preserving historic materials, how Wikipedia can help make collections more globally relevant by using media files, and ways GLAMs and Wikipedia can continue supporting each other, such as through improved statistics, annotations, and attributions.

Wikipedia & Libraries: Ideas to enrich content through collaborationwittylama
This document discusses ways that cultural institutions like libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) can collaborate with Wikipedia to enrich its content. It notes that Wikipedia is one of the top websites globally and a fast way to reach large audiences. It encourages GLAMs to get involved by [1] transcribing materials that optical character recognition cannot read, [2] hosting "edit-a-thon" events focused on unique collections, and [3] helping readers easily reference digitized materials. GLAMs are also invited to start "Wikipedian in residence" programs, contribute articles about collection highlights, and have school groups translate articles.
Wikipedian in Residence - Wikimania Presentationwittylama
Liam Wyatt was a Wikipedian in Residence at the British Museum, working to build a proactive relationship between Wikipedia and the museum to improve content through various initiatives like translating articles, adding multimedia, and leveraging communities. The goal was mutual benefit without undermining principles, focusing on personal relationships, community involvement, and improving existing content rather than the resident's own work. Wyatt suggests a model where Wikipedia Chapters provide professional liaisons to manage relationships and place individual Wikimedians with cultural institutions based on needs.
This document discusses opportunities for collaboration between GLAM institutions and Wikimedia to make cultural collections more accessible online. It notes that many GLAMs have volunteer programs but few have e-volunteer programs, and suggests they work together using the same model. Recommendations include addressing licensing issues, sharing expertise through projects like annotating articles, and evaluating projects both qualitatively and quantitatively. The goal is to freely share collections for all to use and reuse.

National Digital Forum [[edit]] this museum wittylama
This document summarizes similarities and differences between Wikipedia and museums. It notes that both institutions curate and contextualize information, and both are learning how to share resources with others. However, American cultural institutions tend to have more open policies around high-resolution images and reuse, while Australian institutions typically only allow personal or private use of lower quality images. Overall, the document explores how Wikipedia and museums, while different, both aim to educate through openly sharing knowledge and information.
This document provides an overview of using Wikipedia as an educational tool for teachers. It discusses how Wikipedia can provide a free and open education for students in the digital age. It encourages teachers to have students read, cite, edit, and conduct research on Wikipedia articles. It argues that Wikipedia is a global collaborative community that covers a wide range of topics and is an important platform today. The document also addresses issues like reliability, meaning construction, and who owns knowledge on Wikipedia. It provides ideas for how teachers can incorporate Wikipedia into class assignments and debates.
The document discusses Wikipedia as an historical record and primary source in its own right. It argues that Wikipedia articles, discussion pages, and associated metadata can be legitimately used for historical research due to Wikipedia's principles of neutral point of view, verifiability, and prohibition of original research. As an open, constantly evolving compendium created by contributors around the world, Wikipedia provides an unprecedented record of information about history as it was understood at different points in time. However, historians must approach Wikipedia critically and use appropriate methodologies to analyze the large amount of data it contains.
The anatomy of a 100,000 image cooperation German Federal Archives, Wikiped...wittylama
The document summarizes a cooperation between Wikimedia Germany and the German Federal Archives to make 100,000 images from the Archives freely available on Wikipedia. Wikimedia Germany negotiated for over a year to get the images released under a Creative Commons license. They then spent 3 months matching the image metadata to Wikipedia, library, and other records to improve discoverability. The partnership has been very successful, increasing traffic to both Wikipedia and the Archives. Wikimedia hopes to expand these types of partnerships to more cultural heritage institutions.
The Metadata Ecosystem Moving Records between Wikipedia and the German Nati...wittylama
The document discusses ways to improve connections between Wikipedia and the German National Library. It notes that Wikipedia contains over 930,000 articles in German, many of which are biographies. It describes how the German National Library began integrating person data from Wikipedia in 2005 using templates like {{PND}}. Upcoming work may allow Wikipedians to directly contribute to the authority file and integrate more bibliographic data between the two projects. The goal is improved information sharing and access to sources.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

3. The Future of Heritage
20. Time – Every document is a creature of its time
Place – The place of its creation is a key attribute of its importance
People – The social and cultural context of its creation
Subject/Theme – The subject matter may represent particular historical or intellectual developments
Form/Style – The item may…be a key exemplar of a type of presentation, custom or medium
Social/Community significance – The document must have an emotional hold on people who are alive today
21. “
The vision of the Memory of the World Programme is that the world's documentary
heritage belongs to all, should be fully preserved and protected for all and, with
due recognition of cultural mores and practicalities, should be permanently
accessible to all without hindrance.
”
~~~
“
Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of
all knowledge.
”
22. “
The documentary heritage nominated must be finite and precisely defined; broad,
general or open-ended nominations will not be accepted…Once added to the Memory
of the World Register, the document group cannot be varied or redefined over time.
”
But….
Re-use is the vernacular culture of the internet.
What does documentary heritage mean for internet-native
culture if fixity is a requirement?
