J. Paul Getty Trust Report 2014: Digital Humanities at the Getty

J. Paul Getty Trust Report 2014: Digital Humanities at the Getty

Timothy P. Whalen
5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
With the digital revolution as a focal point, you will note that this Trust Report has taken a new direction. To provide readers with a glimpse into the Getty's work, you will find essays by two leading scholars in the digital humanities, followed by reports from each of the Getty's programs—Conservation Institute, Foundation, Research Institute, and Museum—describing the Getty's activities in the rapidly changing digital-arts world.

One important touchstone of our leadership commitment in this new frontier is the principal of unrestricted digital access to our collections. Consistent with this principle, the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Getty Research Institute have both lifted restrictions on images to which they own all the rights, giving the public free, unlimited access to more than 90,000 images. We will continue to add images until all applicable Getty-owned images will be freely accessible through the Getty's Open Content program.

Moreover, Getty Publications has released more than 250 titles through the Virtual Library, making them freely available to anyone with an Internet connection. The GRI has made 100,000 art-historical materials available through the Digital Public Library of America and released two of its art-historical vocabularies as Linked Open Data, with more to come.

Similarly, the Getty Foundation has spearheaded an initiative to transform the traditional scholarly art-historical catalogue from a traditional print publication to an interactive, freely accessible online version. This new approach to museum catalogues has already been adopted by some of the leading arts institutions in the United States.

And, in a related way, the Getty Conservation Institute , working with the World Monuments Fund, has developed Arches, a user friendly, open source information management software system, designed to help safeguard cultural heritage sites worldwide. This groundbreaking software is quickly gaining widespread acceptance.
