Abstract

[edit]

Cultural institutions fulfil the important task of making the digital cultural heritage publicly accessible. For a couple of decades they have made significant strides in digitising and opening up their collections. However, at least in some cases, this process may come into conflict with the rights, values and interests of the original owners of the cultural property or associated communities – this is especially the case with sensitive cultural heritage. This webinar explains why it is important to continue the conversation about copyright and open access to cultural heritage, and how ethical concerns in dealing with sensitive, digital cultural heritage can be adequately addressed.

Goals

[edit]

The goals of the webinar are to hold a space for open discussions about ethical issues regarding open access to cultural heritage. The webinar aims to offer an opportunity to problematise open access to cultural heritage, understand the ethical implications and suggest some solutions or best practices by looking at case studies.
