Keynote: Let’s make history together: FAIR, GLAMs and leadership in the Humanities
Abstract
For the transition to open research and FAIR data management to be a success for researchers, scholars need to work with their colleagues to build approaches that suit their disciplinary requirements. For many humanities scholars, an important relationship exists with the collections of heritage institutions, often collective referred to as the ‘GLAM sector’ – Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. This keynote address argues that a deeper engagement with GLAMs provides a pathway forward for open scholarship leadership by the Humanities.
