Open Licensing Models in the Cultural Heritage Sector (English)
This report presents a study on open licensing practices among cultural heritage institutions (CHIs), conducted by researchers at the CREATe Centre (University of Glasgow) and the Centre for Archive Studies (University of Liverpool). Funded by Creative Commons, the study explores how open licensing is applied in practice and shares potential strategies drawn from institutional experiences.
Recommended Licenses and Tools for Cultural Heritage Content (English)
The CC licenses and public domain tools are a simple and effective way for CHIs, such as museums, libraries and archives, to make heritage materials (and associated metadata) open. Navigating the right license or tool can be tricky, but if you remember only one thing, it’s that faithful digital reproductions of public domain materials must stay in the public domain — no new copyright or related right applies to the digitized version.
