We’re delighted to announce the five winners of the General Projects of the Open GLAM Platform Activities Fund.

TheCC Open GLAM Platformis a space to help coordinate efforts to aggregate, advertise, connect, and support open access to cultural heritage initiatives and projects. This year, CC launched an Activities Fund to support Open GLAM related activities by Platform members. In my role as Facilitator of the Platform, I presented abudget planthat received input and feedback from the community. We had three main allocations for the money:

  1. Open GLAM short stories from the Global South and/or underrepresented communities;
  2. General Projects;
  3. Visualization of the “Survey of GLAM Open Access policy & practice,” created by Douglas McCarthy and Dr. Andrea Wallace

You can read some of the Open GLAM short stories as they are being published on theOpen GLAM Medium publication. We will be working withMajd Al-shihabito create the visualization of the “Open GLAM survey”.

  • Spreading GLAM-Wiki resources in Brazil

João Alexandre Peschanski is doing amazing work on the ground to help Brazilian GLAMs, together withWiki Movimento Brazil. In their article “Opening up the collection of a closed museum in Brazil” on theOpen GLAM Medium在Open GLAM短篇小说基金的资助下，他们与我们分享了他们在巴西开放收藏的方法。

但他们也通过“在巴西传播gama - wiki资源”项目获得资金，该项目将开发葡萄牙语教程，以帮助那些愿意在互联网上分享馆藏/内容但缺乏明确路线图的文化机构。在巴西，对这些资源的需求是关键，因为一些机构资源不足(他们通常只有一个工作人员)，不能做出额外的努力来将馆藏/内容带到数字领域。这种情况与来自富裕国家的收藏品/内容的普遍存在直接相关。

  • Online Ugandan GLAM Directory

Eric Nelson Haumba is the Public Lead of CC Uganda. In this opportunity, he is working to make an online directory of GLAM institutions in Uganda. This information will be freely available online through a GLAM directory where interested persons globally can check-in and access fundamental facts and information about Ugandan GLAM institutions. This directory is a representative source of basic GLAM statistics and a robust tool providing institutional-level data and a nationwide comparison of GLAMs in Uganda. This will allow the CC chapter and other communities to design different activities to help these GLAM institutions embrace open access to cultural heritage.

  • Enhancing Public Domain in Indonesia: Catalog and Re-Make Project

Hilman Fathoni and Fitriayu Penyalai are longtime members of CC Indonesia. Their project wants to show the value of the public domain in Indonesia. For that, they will be creating an open-access catalog of public domain works from Indonesia, and inviting a visual artist from Indonesia to create a remix using some of the public domain works currently available online. These activities will be presented in a webinar series, where the members of CC Indonesia will explain some of the core concepts of the public domain and how it works, the function of their open-access catalog, and invite the visual artist to talk about the remix of the public domain works resulting from this project.

We look forward to seeing project results soon, and we expect these projects to fuel more Open GLAM activities in 2021 and beyond.
