The Open GLAM Survey provides insight on open access policies and practice across the global sector of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums.

All of this has been developed using the GLAM-E Lab model: work directly with organizations to remove legal barriers to creating open access programs, and transform what we learn into standardized, turn-key resources for the rest of the community
As we reach the end of 2024, the GLAM-E Lab has worked with over 24 organizations to create or expand their open access programs. Is your organization exploring a new open access program? Do you have questions not addressed in the existing GLAM-E Lab resources? Reach out! You might be our next collaborator!
