It is just the 9th UK cultural institution to adopt open access for all digital collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultural institutions often claim and enforce rights over the reproduction images of works in their collections. This means they refuse requests for the use of the images or charge high fees. This can impede free and creative expression, especially when copyright in the artwork has expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamelab.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.glamelab.org\/\">GLAM-E Lab<\/a><\/strong> researchers are working to support museums to embrace open access. Their work with the RAMM has led to the museum publishing their reproduction images under an open licence that ensures the images join other materials in the public domain and can be used by anyone for any purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Julien Parsons,<\/strong> RAMM Collections Team Manager and part of the Co-Leadership Team, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be able to announce RAMM\u2019s open access strategy which we envision will make our public domain collections available to everyone, for research, inspiration and enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that open access assists RAMM to fulfil its central purpose. Adopting an open access approach lets users access digitised collections and contribute to the rich cultural heritage of Exeter, regardless of where they are. We want people to be inspired, informed and entertained by RAMM\u2019s collection and to use them to foster individual creativity. We recognise the importance of providing knowledge and information to the public to advance our mission and to unlock new cultural discoveries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The GLAM-E Lab is a joint initiative between the University of Exeter and the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law &amp; Policy at NYU Law School. Experts are developing policies and toolkits for cultural institutions on open collections. They provide legal counsel to cultural institutions and organisations as they develop their open access programs. The solutions created are then integrated into model policies, terms of service and guidance that can be used by other organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GLAM-E Lab Co-Director <a href=\"https:\/\/law.exeter.ac.uk\/staff\/wallace\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/law.exeter.ac.uk\/staff\/wallace\/\"><strong>Dr Andrea Wallace<\/strong>,<\/a> from the University of Exeter, said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAs we clear copyright in RAMM\u2019s collections over the next year, we\u2019ll publish the images under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">a public domain dedication<\/a> that allows anyone to freely use the images for any purpose without permission. We\u2019ll also digitise new collections in 2D and 3D and publish them on RAMM\u2019s website and other platforms where the public can find and enjoy them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Because some of RAMM\u2019s collections are still under copyright protection, restrictions will still apply to these images. However, when the copyright expires, RAMM will publish the reproductions to the public domain alongside its other copyright-free digital collections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The images which are open access are currently available for download on <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Images_from_Royal_Albert_Memorial_Museum_and_Art_Gallery\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a>. All images will eventually be available for download at <a href=\"https:\/\/rammcollections.org.uk\/\">rammcollections.org.uk<\/a>. RAMM, the GLAM-E Lab and <a href=\"https:\/\/wikimedia.org.uk\/\">Wikimedia UK<\/a> are working together over the coming year on a new line of programming and more image releases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users are being asked to credit the Royal Albert Memorial Museum so that researchers and other users can identify the source of the material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A partnership between the Royal Albert Memorial Museum &amp; Art Gallery (RAMM) and the GLAM-E Lab<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":3043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,17],"tags":[311,317,313],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
