Currently we are conducting an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.aalto.fi\/museumrobot\/\">Open Industrial Competition<\/a>\u00a0to design the\u00a0outer casing and a portable deployment unit.<\/p>\n<p>The primary aim of digGLAM is to help small galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs) in Finland with a small staff and limited funds to digitize their collections with participation from their user communities. There are three elements to this: firstly, developing Thematic Open Days at the Museum that focus around relevant themes based around the Museum\u2019s Collections. Secondly using Open Source softwares and robotic scanners to automate the processes, showcase the efforts of the Museum. Finally letting the Local Community of the Museum (Crowdsourcing) to help digitize and tag the thematic collections. The digitized material from these Theme Days will be directly fed into a Museum Archive connected to the National Archives that will be available under a Creative Commons License. The interface of this new Archive is currently also under development.<\/p>\n<p>Project Team<\/p>\n<p>Samir Bhowmik \/ Project Coordinator &#8211; Doctoral Researcher &#8211; Media Lab, Aalto ARTS<br \/>\nLily Diaz \/ Head of Research &#8211; Media Lab &amp; digGLAM Project, Aalto ARTS<br \/>\nAgust\u00ed Pellicer \/ Research Assistant &#8211; Aalto Science CSE<br \/>\nJames Reilly \/ Research Fellow &#8211; Aalto Science CSE<br \/>\nAnna Virtanen \/ Research Assistant &#8211; Systems of Representation &#8211; Media Lab, Aalto ARTS<br \/>\nAntti Yl\u00e4-J\u00e4\u00e4ski \/ Professor &#8211; Aalto Science CSE<\/p>\n<p>Verna Kaipainen \/ Industrial Design &#8211; Department of Design, Aalto ARTS<br \/>\nPalash Mukhopadhyaya \/ User Interface Design &#8211; New Media, Aalto ARTS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digitizing Small Museums (GLAMs) into Culture Commons by Local Communities (digGLAM) is short-term Aalto Media Factory (AMF) funded project at the Systems of Representation \u2013 \u00a0Media Lab of Aalto ARTS \u2013 Aalto University Helsinki Finland.
