Open Cultural Data Hackathon 2017
Program | Get involved | Swiss Cultural Data | Cultural Data Worldwide | Earlier Editions
====== Swiss Heritage Data ====== This page contains a list of open heritage data from and/or about Switzerland. Feel free to add any further datasets that are in line with the [[http://openglam.org/principles/|OpenGLAM Principles]]. === New arrivals ⭐️ ===
Datasets which include digital representations of objects (e.g. collections of photos) have been added to Open Knowledge's Open Collections Portal. – Have a look at our collection there for the 2016 hackathon.

We are already planning for the 2017 edition of the Swiss #openGLAM #GLAMhack event, it would be great to hear from institutions with new or shortly upcoming open cultural data releases. Please contact us to appear here.
====== Open data ====== With the exception of several sources under restricted licenses [[#exceptions|listed below]], GLAM datasets for the hackathon are being published and promoted under the [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset?q=glam|OpenGLAM CH organization on opendata.swiss]].
===== Exceptions ===== Several sources have somewhat more restricted licensing terms, preventing their publication on opendata.swiss, yet still represent very interesting datasets for OpenGLAM projects. === Images from the Zurich Central Library's Special Collections === **Zentralbibliothek Zürich** [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zentralbibliothek_Z%C3%BCrich_-_Vall%C3%A9e_de_Chamonix_Travers%C3%A9e_de_la_Mer_de_Glace_-_400017818.jpg|{{https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Zentralbibliothek_Z%C3%BCrich_-_Vall%C3%A9e_de_Chamonix_Travers%C3%A9e_de_la_Mer_de_Glace_-_400017818.jpg/1024px-Zentralbibliothek_Z%C3%BCrich_-_Vall%C3%A9e_de_Chamonix_Travers%C3%A9e_de_la_Mer_de_Glace_-_400017818.jpg?400|}}]] //Chamonix.
