I wanted to contribute, but didn’t have money to spare. Instead, I created a print-on-demand store with </span><a href="http://www.society6.com"><span>Society6</span></a><span> to sell items with designs I had made. Of course, I don’t have artistic skill, either, so I modified existing illustrations from the public domain.</span></p>
<p>I’m here to document what I did, in order to show how easy it is to get a shop up and running. The benefits for cultural heritage institutions are multiple: make some cash, promote your collections, enrich the world with beautiful vintage visuals, print your own art for your walls, and learn a new skill!</p>
<p>The process I employed to generate profitable clothes, home decor, phone cases, and a bunch of other cool stuff is pretty straightforward:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>Identify awesome images in the public domain</span></li>
<li><span>Get the highest-quality version you can</span></li>
<li><span>Use Photoshop to turn the paper transparent and thicken up the ink lines</span></li>
<li><span>Use Illustrator to vectorize the image and scale it to a desired size</span></li>
<li><span>Use Photoshop to generate various versions of the image, depending on what products you want to sell</span></li>
<li><span>Upload each version to your print-on-demand shop according to their instructions</span></li>
<li><span>Promote to your pals and your library’s patrons</span></li>
<li><span>Make money for your library!</span></li>
</ul>

<p>Today, the Europeana initiative provides a platform where everyone can freely access tens of millions of items from thousands of cultural heritage institutions online, for education, research, creativity and pleasure. But, over the past decade, it has also become more than a portal – it is a movement for change.</p>
<p>In this anniversary series, we look at what the Europeana initiative is doing, what it has achieved, and how it is looking to the future. At its very heart, of course, is cultural heritage and in this first post, we look at 10 reasons to open up cultural heritage data for <a href="https://opendefinition.org/od/2.1/en/">free reuse</a>. ..."</p>tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/24655782018-10-23T09:57:16-04:002018-10-23T09:57:16-04:00Museum image fees (ctd.) - Art History News - by Bendor Grosvenor<p>An interesting discussion regarding museums should charge for their images or release them for free.</p>
