Conference audience at Open GLAM México, 5-6 September 2018

We spoke to Ben White, the Head of Intellectual Property from the British Library, about some of the treasures (and challenges) he and the team of curators and project managers have uncovered in their efforts to bring some hundreds of thousands of objects onto digital platforms, and show you how to use them.
Tom Scott, Head of Digital Engagement at London’s Wellcome Collection, shares his thoughts on digital strategy and the contribution of open data to a knowledgable and creative society.
The National Library of Finland is the country's national aggregator, providing Europeana with almost 1 million digital objects from Finnish institutions. Maria Virtanen spoke to Douglas McCarthy about its recent national workshop in partnership with Europeana.
