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

Tue Sep 25 16:04:25 UTC 2012

Hi Sarah, All,

I was just thinking this, yes, you are right this should be exclusively for
case studies.

I would like to boot a separate place to share information on projects and
tools. But agreed let's leave this Tumblr for case studies about open
initiatives at GLAMs.

Apologies for the confusion :)

Best,
Sam
