The British Museum: el museu de la ciutadania

David Navarrete Camps

The project achieved 15 editathons, 19 training sessions, 27 speaking engagements and engaged 280 new users and around 100 cultural institutions. It led to 250 new images uploaded, 76 new articles created and 160 articles improved. Though it did not achieve some goals like policy changes at institutions or large-scale image releases, it helped participants feel more confident in open knowledge work. Key challenges included fears around loss of control, revenue, or skills as well as conservative attitudes and risk aversion. Lessons involved building skills, improving infrastructure and changing attitudes.
