Crowdsourcing- The Oxford Community Collection Model

The Oxford Community Collection Model brings together online crowdsourcing with personal, face-to-face interaction. It has been used successfully in a range of ways from collating Anglo-Saxon teaching resources to memories of WW1. Dr Ylva Berglund Prytz explains the origins, the concept behind and success stories of the Oxford Community Collection model. In particular she refers to The Great War Archive and Europeana 1914-1918. Lastly, she explains how the team at RunCoCo (IT Services) can help University staff in leading and curating their own community collections.
