Description:
Heritage organisations have, for a long time, had to contend with evaluations of their economic and social impact. The creation of datasets and collections and the engagement of diverse audiences in digital cultural heritage enrichment and research (e.g. through GLAM Labs and initiatives like Transcribathon), highlight ways in which heritage institutions, researchers and research institutions can create even more social impact through their work.
