Hi Pavlo!

I hope you're doing ok given the circumstances. To the list that Fiona has 
shared, I'd add the Open GLAM survey by Douglas McCarthy & Andrea Wallace too: 
https://medium.com/open-glam/survey/home

That gives a sense of how many GLAMs have adopted open access policies. 

Also, I'd suggest you get in touch with Iolanda Pensa from the Wikimedia Italy 
chapter: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Italia. They took the CC 
GLAM Certificate course and their whole team produced a ton of wonderful visual 
materials (slides & infographics) that explain the benefits of open access for 
GLAM institutions in a very straightforward way. Most of them are uploaded 
here: 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Creative_Commons_GLAM_Certificate

cheers,
scann

Dear Pavlo,

I hope you are well, considering.

I will follow up directly to discuss how my team can support you but, for
the benefit of this list, I wanted to share a compilation of articles
arguing for open access in museums - see below. Many of them are written by
museum staff so they have cut-through with that audience.

I think your strongest arguments are 1. cultural heritage preservation
("Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe") and 2. harmonization with the EU. As you
likely know, the adoption of Article 14 of the Copyright in the Digital
Single Market Directive says that works in the public domain should remain
in the public domain once digitised:

I'm sure you're already familiar with Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage
Online (SUCHO). A selection of their international press coverage would be
a good addition to an advocacy pack: https://www.sucho.org/press

A Diff article by João Alexandre Peschanski considers the role of Wikimedia
Commons in crisis response:

Hi Pavlo,

This was not directly related to open licenses, but we had some discussion
on uploading Ukrainian images to Ajapaik.ee f(tagging people on photos,
geotagging, and rephotography website) from Commons and Europeana for
documenting how war changes places and eventually rebuilding after the war.
Ajapaik is not strictly free license as there are a huge number of photos
that are either under CC-ND/CC-ND or under copyright, but the crowdsourced
data is open, and also rephotographed images are CC-BY.

However, I think that getting images on use and getting crowdsourced
metadata could be reasons for cultural institutions for opening their
content.

Here is folder from WMCEE meeting 2018
- https://ajapaik.ee/?album=397&order1=time&order2=rephotos&page=1

It has also mobile app for taking photos (and working on iOS version)
-

If you need more info, feel free to contact me.

Br,

Hi, Pavlo!

Have you looked at the materials here?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Bookshelf

Also, the GLAM Newsletter, archived at the link below, has a lot of links
to project descriptions and materials. Scanning it for relevant topics or
kinds of institutions can probably help you find additional resources,
beyond those already curated at the link above.

Cheers,
