Call for stories: Open GLAM in underrepresented communities

我们希望在被低估的社区听到Open GLAM的声音。

TheOpen GLAM surveyby Douglas McCarthy and Andrea Wallace has revealed a global picture where “Open GLAM” (“Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums”) seems to be happening mainly in the US and Europe. However, these types of maps and visualizations can also be tricky. The data collected might be reflecting particular data biases rather than the real practice happening in the ground.

在全球南方和代表性不足的社区中,有一些机构和从业者正在通过记录非物质遗产、发布公共领域内容,或可能有很好的理由认真处理“开放GLAM”。这些故事没有到达前线的原因可能各不相同,但有时是因为这些故事背后的人没有时间、资源或能力来制作它们。有时候,要在管理一个志愿者项目的同时,把自己的经历写下来是非常困难的。

To encourage people to write about those stories and document their practices and experiences, the Open GLAM Platform of Creative Commons approved to allocate a total of USD4,800 to produce a total of 16 pieces or stories, paying USD300 a piece to the person or groups writing them. We expect to grant half the money to stories coming from Africa and the remaining half to the rest of the Global South and/or underrepresented communities.

For the purposes of this call, underrepresented includes the following categories:

These stories will be published under a Creative Commons license (CC BY, CC BY SA or CC0) through theOpen GLAM Medium publication, edited by Douglas McCarthy and Evelin Heidel.

We want to thank to the committee composed by Douglas McCarthy, Mariana Ziku and Franziska Latell for their generous work evaluating the stories.
