The European Library acts as a central index for libraries across Europe, providing access to over 130 million digitized newspaper pages from more than 29,000 titles, around 85% of which are freely available. A presentation proposed adding the 18 million digitized pages of Welsh newspapers to this index, which would expose Welsh language, history, and ideas to a broader international audience and research community while recognizing the work of the National Library of Wales. Integrating the Welsh collections could provide educational and research opportunities within a larger European context.

Within just a few years the German Foundation for Monument Protection has grown into the largest private historical-preservation initiative in Germany. The German Foundation for Monument Protection has thus set itself two goals: to preserve endangered cultural monuments and promote all aspects of monument protection. We hope to animate as many citizens as possible to become involved in this task. Since its foundation in 1985 the German Foundation for Monument Protection has helped to preserve over 3,000 monuments nationwide, investing 390 million Euros. Contributions have been raised from more than 180,000 private sponsors and companies, fine allocations and proceeds from the GlücksSpirale lottery. Our patron is the Federal President, Horst Köhler.The Foundation becomes active where state funds are either not available or are proving insufficient. In times when public budgets continue to shrink, this goal is more than ever a challenge for all. The Foundation’s funds benefit an array of historical monuments: burgher houses, village, town and cloister churches, industrial monuments, palaces, castles and manor houses, parks, town walls and archaeological excavations. To encourage young people to become more involved with our cultural heritage is of particular concern to the Foundation. In 2002 for example we initiated the schools project “denkmal aktiv * Kulturerbe macht Schule” (Cultural Heritage in Young Hands). Over a thousand pupils belong to the nationwide network. During the school year they work on and study cultural monuments on site, taking part in restoring and documenting the monument, and so getting to know monument protection first hand. The “Jugendbauhütte” projects (Youth Masonry Guilds) running in nine towns are also proving to be a successful model. Over the course of a year of voluntary civic service young adults gain insight into old crafts and historical buildings. Practical activities introduce the participants to the basic know-how and skill demanded by protecting historical monuments and offers a platform for their future vocational orientation. Another aspect of our mission is of no less importance: to raise public awareness for monument protection and the tasks this entails. In this vein the Foundation coordinates the nationwide European Heritage Day, held annually in September. This contribution to the European Heritage Days has meanwhile advanced to one the largest cultural events in Germany, highlighting 7,000 monument sites open to the public and attracting over four million.

This contribution will present digital assets and initiatives at the Museum of Cultural History (MCH), University of Oslo (UiO) and aims at sharing data. The COVID-19 restrictions have elevated the importance of digital assets. At the beginning of this period, metadata for the archaeological collections were, to a large degree, already digitized and accessible online. This is the result of a national collaboration beginning in the 1990s and continue today in UniMus:Kultur. MCH had also published a map-based overview of all excavations in Eastern/Southern Norway, and begun to release excavation reports through UiO’s science archive. Recently, focus has shifted towards 3D-documentation of exhibits and publication of existing 3D-models on 3DHOP—available through humgis.uiocloud.no MCH now concentrates on digitizing artefacts at the Viking Ship Museum. The 3D-models from here will be included in the BItFROST project, which will address the active role of 3D-models in research and education. BItFROST will work on FAIRifcation of 3D-models and promote dialogue with researchers. The 3DHOP platform enables the creation of interactive user-interfaces for researchers and a public audience. Collaboration with DarkLab in Lund, Sweden will create common user-interfaces for Swedish and Norwegian collections. The project will also utilize AR and VR in the presentation of data. In addition, the infrastructure project ADED (Archaeological Digital Excavation Documentation) provides open-access to excavations in Norway. The five Norwegian university museums and the Directorate of Cultural Heritage take part in the project. ADED’s map-based webpages will integrate excavation documentation and the museums’ artefact/photograph databases, making it possible to have an overview and detailed information of excavations and finds. As part of migrating the data to a common repository, mapping it to CIDOC-CRMarcheo facilitates further mapping to ARIADNEplus and/or other datasets.

Over the past year and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world has witnessed inequalities across borders and societies. They also include access to archaeological resources, both physical and digital. Both archaeological data creators and users spent a lot of time working from their homes, away from artefact collections and research data. However, this was the perfect moment to understand the importance of making data freely and openly available, both nationally and internationally. This is why the authors of this paper chose to make a selection of data bases from various institutions responsible for preservation and protection of cultural heritage, in order to understand their policies regarding accessibility and usage of the data they keep. This will be done by simple visits to various web-sites or data bases. They intend to check on the volume and content, but also importance of the offered archaeological heritage. In addition, the authors will estimate whether the heritage has adequately been classified and described and also check whether data is available in foreign languages. It needs to be seen whether it is possible to access digital objects (documents and the accompanying metadata), whether access is opened for all users or it requires a certain hierarchy access, what is the policy of usage, reusage and distribution etc. It remains to be seen whether there are public API or whether it is possible to collect data through API. In case that there is a public API, one needs to check whether datasets are interoperable or messy, requiring data cleaning. After having visited a certain number of web-sites, the authors expect to collect enough data to make a satisfactory conclusion about accessibility and usage of Serbian archaeological data web bases.
