The internet as a platform for facilitating human organization
without the need for organizations has, through social media,
created new challenges for cultural heritage institutions.
Challenges include but are not limited to: how to manage copyright,
ownership, orphan works, open data access to heritage
representations and artefacts, crowdsourcing, cultural heritage
amateurs, information as a commodity or information as public
domain, sustainable preservation, attitudes towards openness and
much more. Participatory Heritage uses a selection of international
case studies to explore these issues and demonstrates that in order
for personal and community-based documentation and artefacts to be
preserved and included in social and collective histories,
individuals and community groups need the technical and knowledge
infrastructures of support that formal cultural institutions can
provide. In other words, both groups need each other. Divided into
three core sections, this book explores: Participants in the
preservation of cultural heritage; exploring heritage institutions
and organizations, community archives and group Challenges;
including discussion of giving voices to communities, social
inequality, digital archives, data and online sharing Solutions;
discussing open access and APIs, digital postcards, the case for
collaboration, digital storytelling and co-designing heritage
practice. Readership: This book will be useful reading for
individuals working in cultural institutions such as libraries,
museums, archives and historical societies. It will also be of
interest to students taking library, archive and cultural heritage
courses.
