Description: The world loses irreplaceable pieces of knowledge all the time due to wars, fires, natural disasters, and other crises, especially in museums, libraries, and archives, but also external objects such as monuments. As the world's largest and most available source of knowledge, the Wikimedia movement and its projects have not only the ability but also the duty, to share those objects and safeguard them. In this panel, we intend to show how we can accomplish that together, why it is important, what are the accessibility challenges and how we can advocate to overcome them. In order to safeguard those objects, the country where those objects are situated should have Copyright Laws that allow not only allows proper digitization and documentation, but also policies that allow the sharing of reproductions, such as Freedom of Panorama, Open Licenses guidelines, and other Copyright considerations, which are all accomplished by Copyright Reforms. The presentations for this session are planned to introduce the importance of the topic, share ideas and challenges both from the Cultural Heritage and Advocacy sides and find pathways of collaboration.
