Community Collection material shared by the general public or a particular community (usually through crowdsourcing)

http://europeana1914-1918.eu/en/contributions/11231

Crowdsourcing “asking the general public to help contribute to shared goals” (Ridge 2014)

“a convenient label for a diverse range of activities and projects involving the public doing something to, or with, content.” (Dunn and Hedges 2014)

“Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge.” Stephenson (1998)

“When information – the basis of knowledge – changes, the knowledge of a field also changes”. Siemens (2006)

Three questions:

• What happens if you invite people to share their objects and stories through an online collection?

• How do you get contributions from people who are not digitally literate, or who do not have time to take part?

• Are there any benefits or drawbacks of turning to

the public instead of doing it all yourself?
