Are you an exhibition space,

an archive, or a cultural institution?

Do you want to share your content

and increase the visibility

or your artworks and knowledge?

Share Your Knowledge is here to help you out.

How?

First, you need to follow Share Your Knowledge guidelines.

This means releasing all your digitised content online

under the CC-BY-SA license.

Then, inform all your contacts about the change

in license and upload your content to Wikipedia.

Finally, watch how your content

is accessed and used.

What is the CC-BY-SA license?

CC stands for Creative Commons.

This means that an author can choose which copyright

he or she would like to apply to their artwork

when they put it online.

BY means that anyone can use

your material freely

and for free on condition

that you are acknowledged and

credited on the new artwork.

SA means that any artwork,

resulting from your material,

must be distributed under the same license.

Is is like starting out a

“creative commons infection”.

So, what do I have to do?

Embed the CC-BY-SA logo on

all the pages that you have your content.

If you want to share ALL your material at once,

embed the logo on your entire website.

This will make your content available

on the web under the CC license.

What about the archive material that is not yet online?

If some of your content has been created

by someone outside your organization,

you will have to ask for their permission.

This way, you can release catalogues,

DVDs, videos, movies,

trailers and images

that are relevant to your content.

To make the project even more visible,

let your contacts know about it,

and if you really want to enhance your content,

tell Wikipedia volunteers!

By doing this,

you will contribute your valuable content

to the most used free encyclopaedia in the world,

with an audience of 400 million visitors!

Who can upload contents on Wikipedia?

You,

your colleagues,

your collaborators,

and all Wikipedia volunteers.

Once the content is online,

and following Wikipedia’s rules,

anybody will be able to correct a mistake,

add an image,

translate an article into another language,

and update any new information.

Wikipedia also has tools for you

to evaluate how effective

this Share Your Knowledge project

has been at increasing your content and its visibility!
