1/12 #openGLAM is often framed as a one way flow of data FROM an & #39;official& #39; organisation TO the general public.

However, a lot of cultural content is being captured in 3D & made openly available by & #39;unofficial& #39; + citizen digitization efforts.

2/12 Can the data being shared be considered #openGLAM?

I ( @nebulousflynn) think so & believe there is a huge opportunity for collaboration between these & #39;official& #39; and & #39;unofficial& #39; 3D projects.

Some of my favourite examples in thread.

3/12 For years @cosmowenman has been publishing cultural 3D under open licenses as well as encouraging organisations to do the same, often via freedom of information requests.

10/12 The list goes on.

How can such individuals collaborate with GLAM orgs? In general, they cannot https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😥" title="Disappointed but relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Disappointed but relieved face">GLAM orgs are often not set up for - or amenable to - & #39;digital accessioning& #39;.

11/12 I& #39;m ( @nebulousflynn) not saying that organisations SHOULD do anything, I just want to indicate a rather fantastic opportunity to embrace the enthusiasm & skills of talented members of the GLAM audience.
12/12 Perhaps an example to follow is that of @museumofmaking in Derby, UK which has actively pursued a program of & #39;co-production& #39; with expert and novice volunteers.

13/12 What do you think?

Should GLAM organisations (often deficient in 3D digitization capabilities) consider inviting & #39;citizen digitizers& #39; to help build 3D data collections?

If so, how?
