OpenGLAM is an initiative run by the Open Knowledge Foundation. It promotes free and open access to digital cultural heritage, held by GLAMs: Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums.[1]

The definition of 'Open'

"A piece of data or content is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it - subject only, at most, to the requirement to give credit to the author and/or making any resulting work available under the same terms as the original work".[2]

Aim of the initiative

Aim of the movement is to make digitized cultural heritage available to the public as much as possible, allowing users not only to enjoy but also to contribute, share, reuse and remix[3]. Also institutions/platforms like Wikimedia Commons and Europeana are able to use results of OpenGLAM.
