7. Europeana’s strategy for open access

12. Cultural Heritage Institutions in the
digital environment

13. The primary purpose of cultural
heritage institutions in the digital
environment should be to
maximize access to their
collections.

14. Restricting access and reuse will not
give institutions more control over
the material in their collections…
… becoming the most attractive
online source will do.

15. Restricting access to collections is
not a sustainable business
model…
… giving the public the best
possible online experience is.

16. Claiming copyright over works in the
Public Domain is not how institutions
will manage to get credit for the
preservation work they are doing…
… it is by sharing their collections
that they will achieve this.

17. Advocating for better copyright rules

18. We also need better copyright
rules that make it easier for
cultural heritage institutions to
provide access to works that are
in copyright but out of commerce

19. That is why Europeana is
advocating for an update of the
exceptions in the EU copyright
directive benefitting cultural
heritage institutions.
