Highlights[edit]
Hack4OpenGLAM 2020
The long-awaited Hack4FI 2020 got cancelled on the eve of the event due to corona restrictions. It gave the push to create something new for the new situation. Hack4OpenGLAM was arranged as an online hack event as part of the Global Virtual CC Summit.
Hack4FI – Hack Your Heritage
Hack4FI – Hack your heritage hackathons have promoted the creative re-use of open cultural materials and the emergence of new applications and services for different sectors of society. They started out as a spinoff from a cultural hackathon organized by the newly established AvoinGLAM at OKFestival in Helsinki in 2012.
Junior hackathon
Museums, companies and NGOs worked together with children to create something new from cultural heritage. Old photographs, archive soundtracks, TV clips or old newspapers were given a new lease of life as 7–15-year-olds clashed, mixed, scratched and encoded them.
Kohti avointa kulttuuria guide
Kohti avointa kulttuuria is an introduction to open culture and how memory and cultural organisations can open up their material to a wider audience. It takes the reader towards a more open culture and a shared cultural heritage.
Open Cultural Data Masterclass
Open Cultural Data Masterclass trained cultural and arts organizations in opening up digital cultural resources in spring 2014. The course materials were used to compile an openly accessible online material package and a guide Towards Open Culture tailored for cultural heritage organisations. The project was funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
