Switzerland report

BAM Hackathon, 3D for Cultural Heritage, Wiki Cite

BAM Hackathon

The BAM Hackathon in Mexico was supported by Wikimedia CH. BAM means Bibliothecas, Archivos, Museos. It was developed last year during the GLAM Hackathon in Lucerne together with Open GLAM. The focus lies on artistic production regarding the history of objects in Swiss museums. The final report describes the project in detail.

3D for Cultural Heritage

With 3D it is possible to reconstruct destroyed places and objects of recognized cultural heritage. The more wars we are having the more our society needs to be able to reconstruct heritage for not losing our history and for building a sustainable future. The project page shows the opportunities for cultural heritage.

Wiki Cite

The Wiki Cite conference took place in Bern. The focus was on wiki technology and cultural institutions. Around 30 people participated in person coming mainly from Europe. The conference has been streamed and recorded. All talks will be made available at the project page. The conference was a cooperation between the programmes Innovation and GLAM.
