Open Culture VOICES is a 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. Our guest on episode 13 is Melissa Terras, a leading international figure in the field of Digital Humanities. Since 2017, she has been Professor of Digital Cultural Heritage at the University of Edinburgh, and director of its Centre for Digital Scholarship.


We asked all our guests the same questions:
1️⃣  What are the main benefits of open GLAM?
2️⃣  What are the barriers?
3️⃣. Could you share something someone else told you that opened up your eyes and mind about open GLAM?
4️⃣. Do you have a personal message to those hesitating to open up collections?
