[open-heritage] Check this tumblr out! Re: Blog roll of case studies

Tue Sep 25 15:41:19 UTC 2012

Perfect! I'll get adding and I urge all others on this list to do the same.

I suggest we focus on:

   - Open source tools and apps that use open cultural data and content
   - Initiatives aimed at opening up more cultural data and content

Cheers,
Sam
