Episode 5: Open Culture VOICES – Merete Sanderhoff
Open CultureHappy Monday Friends! We’re back with a new episode of Open Culture VOICES! VOICES is a vlog series of short interviews with open GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) experts from around the world. The Open Culture Program at Creative Commons aims to promote better sharing of cultural heritage in GLAMs collections. With Open Culture VOICES, we’re thrilled to bring you various perspectives from dozens of experts speaking in many different languages on what it’s like to open up heritage content online. Joining us for this episode is Merete Sanderhoff, Curator and Senior Advisor of Digital Museum Practice at Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Denmark. Merete’s work at SMK focuses on opening up digitized collections and inviting the public to build on our common heritage for learning, creativity and innovation.
Merete responds to the following questions:
- What are the main benefits of open GLAM?
- What are the barriers?
- Could you share something someone else told you that opened up your eyes and mind about open GLAM?
- Do you have a personal message to those hesitating to open up collections?
