Summary:
"Cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) such as museums, libraries, and archives, carry the important public-interest mission of providing access to the heritage in their collections. Their mission is grounded in broad public access and extensive human engagement, the existence of a vibrant cultural commons, and heritage enjoyed as a shared resource. CHIs understand that, as a representation of who we are, heritage helps define our shared humanity and that providing access to heritage generates numerous benefits for society. As such, CHIs, as stewards of trustworthy information imbued within knowledge and culture, have a crucial role to play in growing and protecting the commons and enabling uses that benefit humanity."
