====== Swiss Heritage Data ======

This page contains a list of open heritage data from and/or about Switzerland. **New arrivals** since the last Open Cultural Data have been highlighted with a ⭐️. Feel free to add any further datasets that are in line with the [[http://openglam.org/principles/|OpenGLAM Principles]].

Save for a small number of [[#exceptions_not_hosted_on_opendataswiss|exceptions listed below]], GLAM datasets for the hackathon are being published and promoted on [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset?q=glam|opendata.swiss]], the national open data registry. GLAM datasets on opendata.swiss can be found via their tags [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset?q=glam|glam]] and [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset?q=openglam|openglam]] (for English, French, German and Italian). Datasets from natural history collections are referenced on [[https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search|GBIF]]. Heritage collections from Swiss institutions that have been made available on Wikimedia Commons are also referenced in the [[https://stats.wikimedia.swiss/|GLAM Statistical Tool "Cassandra"]].

Data providers are invited to manage the description of their data themselves under their own organizational account on [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset?q=glam|opendata.swiss]]. As an exception, the OpenGLAM CH Working Group may take care of the listing of the data on behalf of data providers which do not have their own user account on opendata.swiss (yet).

Note that we are in an ongoing dialogue with the Federal Statistical Office, who are running opendata.swiss, in view of the improvement of the platform with regard to the presentation of heritage data. If you have any suggestions or comments in this regard, please let us know: info(at)openglam.ch

//Historical Tarot Cards, Public Domain//

Many playing cards were produced in Switzerland throughout history. Particularly famous was the Müller company in Schaffhausen which is the ancestor of today's AGMüller. But even before there was playing cards manufacturing in Switzerland. We have digitized the playing cards of a tarot game wich was designed in the manufactory of Johann Georg Rauch between 1831 and 1838. Also we have digized a deck of the ancestor deck "Tarot de Besançon".
