Currently this is a scratchpad for referencing known uses of CC licensing and material by the collections and cultural sectors - ie museums, libraries, archives and galleries. Please add to the list and turn compelling uses into Case Studies.
Contents
Armenia
Fundamental Scientific Library of the National Academy of Science of Armenia
- maintains two open access journals, the Armenian Journal of Mathematics and Armenian Journal of Physics, both of which are under Creative Commons Attribution licences.
Australia
- license educational materials and photos under CC licences
- license their collection descriptions under CC BY-NC and their collection data under BY-SA (specifically for reuse on Wikipedia)
- have written papers on the financial and other benefits of OA, and posted on crowd-sourced discoveries and reuse as a result
The National Library of Australia
- license a large range of their internal documents/policies under CC, mainly through their Open Publish initiative (see background paper)
- encourage donors to use CC as part of their Flickr-based PictureAustralia initiative
- incorporate Wikipedia descriptions and crowdsourced text-correction in their Newspapers Online Australia initiative (see slides here and here)
Australian Broadcasting Corporation
- Australia's main public broadcaster has started releasing material from its archives under CC BY-NC
Collections Council of Australia
- has launched the beta of a digital storytelling initiative, Now and Then, that requires contributors to CC license
- incorporate CC licensed material (and in particular photographs) into their digital storytelling collection
Canada
Anecdotal evidence suggests that some University libraries offer Creative Commons licensing options in their Institutional Repositories. More research is required in this field.
Germany
Bundesarchiv - the German Federal Archive
- released 100,000 photographs under CC BY-SA for free reuse on Wikicommons and saw sales of prints of the photographs double (see slides here)
The Land Library of Saxony - State and University Library Dresden (SLUB)
- donated 250,000 photographs from their German Photo Collection (depicting scenes from German history and daily life) with corresponding captions and metadata to Wikicommons - all under Germany’s ported CC BY-SA 3.0 license or in the public domain.
Netherlands
- has collaborated with the local Wikimedia community, to document materials in the museum’s collection (eg through photography) and upload this material to Wikicommons (see slides here)
- and so have 45 other museums in the Netherlands; the full list is also available on the Wiki Loves Art website.
Sweden
Historiska Museet in Stockholm announces their digital catalogue under cc-license, see blogpost here
United Kingdom
- In July 2009, an Anglo-Saxon treasure was found in a field near Birmingham, UK. Since mid-September photographs of the items have been on display on flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/finds/sets/72157622378376316/ Some photos are under BY-NC, others under BY-NC-SA.
United States
- not exactly uses Creative Commons licences, but has been part of the flickr commons project and produced a valuable report on the benefits of OA to memory institutions (Springer, Michelle, et al. (2008). For the Common Good: The Library of Congress Flickr Pilot Project)
