News related to the #OpenHeritageStatement:

The #TAROCH Coalition has adopted a new name, the Open Heritage Coalition.

This name change brings clearer visibility to our advocacy around the Open Heritage Statement and our goal towards a UNESCO norm-setting instrument for equitable access to heritage in the public domain.

Getty Museum releases 88K+ images of artworks with CC0 - Creative Commons

The J. Paul Getty Museum just released more than 88 thousand works under Creative Commons Zero (CCØ), putting the digital images of items from its impressive collection squarely and unequivocally into the public domain. This is in line with our advocacy efforts at Creative Commons (CC): digital reproductions of public domain material must remain in the public domain. In other words, no new copyright should arise over the creation of a digitized “twin.”

Congratulations to their first Executive Director George Oates & a very warm welcome to the brand new non-profit Flickr Foundation https://www.flickr.org "We’re doing this so that in 100 years, we aren’t just sharing millions of cultural heritage photographs. With the work of the Flickr Foundation, we’re creating a visual commons—a collective reference of our history and our humanity, accessible by anyone, anywhere"
