OPAN Collaborative Platform Code (for beautifying, electrifying, and interconnecting community archives)
Project pageCultural Heritage Platform Innovation OPAN represents 12 innovative photo history CH platform initiatives. We aim to unify our platforms with Fortepan as our base interface + add other great ideas (IIIF, ECCCH, AI, digital storytelling apps, public forum). We’re planning a COST Action grant and need smart developers under 40 who get it.
We have a Platform Manifesto (https://opanglobal.org/manifesto -- we’re serious!). CH platforms need reinvention; and our code will be useful far beyond OPAN.
