Open Access Policy: Ein Leitfaden für Kulturerbe-Einrichtungen in Hessen
Cultural institutions hold extensive cultural assets that have universal and timeless value. Digitisation simplifies access and expands and multiplies the usability of the cultural treasure managed by these institutions. However, open access is often severely hampered by legal, technical, or financial constraints.
