@jpekel
About Livrustkammaren och Skoklosters slott med Stiftelsen Hallwylska museetà Three museums in the Stockholm area à Total of about 50 staff members à 300.000 visitors each year à 7 million euros annual budget
@jpekel
Open Image Archive
à Started in 2012 à Develop the web interface for our collection database, in
order to be able to display high resolution images. à Deliver linked open data and high resolution images to K-
samsök - the Swedish national aggregator for cultural heritage data.
à This would allow users to collect and build new applications using the data.
à Donate all of our high resolution images to Wikimedia Commons, in order to increase the reach of the material.
@jpekel
Image sale
à To cover the costs à Get image and send on CD-ROM à FTP-server radically reduced the costs à Give the public access to public material à Costs of maintaining the image sale higher than revenue
@jpekel
Image sale
@jpekel
“We realised that our curators had more important things to do and decided to abandon
the sale of images all together.”
Copyright 2D vs 3D
@jpekel
à Starting point: Give the public as easy access as possible à Digitising Public Domain works à Does digitising generate new copyright? à Originality
Results
@jpekel
à Massive increase of visibility à Collection is seen outside of Sweden à Error page where users suggest improvements à Strong sense of pride in the museum. “Doing the right thing” à MUSE Award in the ‘Open’ category
Lessons learned
@jpekel
à Write a digital strategy beforehand à Review metadata quality à Start small à Look for partnerships
