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 OpenGLAM Principles.
New arrivals ⭐️
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 listed below, GLAM datasets for the hackathon are being published and promoted under the 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.
