"'Digitization in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums is becoming more prevalent, and so is sharing the data that results from that effort in open and reusable forms. However, navigating the complex information environment to identify, locate, reuse, and repurpose openly licensed heritage data can be tricky. In this useful introductory text, Roued-Cunliffe covers a wealth of issues regarding openly available digitized content, including legal, technical, and social aspects. Covering use, users, methodological approaches, and infrastructure, this is a timely compass to those considering how open data fits into their research, or art, practices, showing the range of activities than can be possible once collections allow reuse and repurposing of their digital assets."

"Open, heritage and data are by no doubt some of the most debated and discussed concepts of our time. In contrast to much of the earlier work that has focused on either the practical or theoretical sides of data and openness in the heritage field, this wonderfully approachable volume provides an insightful and personal introduction to open heritage data both in theory, and through easy to start with hands-on exercises in tapping into various types of heritage data, also in practice."
— Isto Huvila, Professor, Uppsala University
"This book offers a unique take on one of the most urgent challenges for the GLAM sector today - that of building bridges between cultural heritage professionals and new technologies. It’s a blatant lack in our skillset not to be able to understand the machinery that so shapes how we work with heritage in the 21st century. Roued-Cunliffe to the rescue! With her combined background in archaeology, teaching and coding, she competently guides us through the tech maze, opening up the world of open heritage data both as a philosophy and toolbox in clear, pedagogical steps."

"Digitization is not enough. Henriette Roued-Cunliffe’s book is both a strong argument for the sharing of heritage data, and a font of inspiration and ideas. Mixing discussions of copyright with snippets of code, she encourages institutions and individuals to make a start — to look beyond the problems and explore the potential of open heritage data for creativity and research."
