User-generated content has become part and parcel of the mainstream Internet experience. Services like YouTube, Flickr or the Wikipedia provide platforms that encourage, enable and build on the creation of millions of users. Today, museums and memory institutions actively explore the inherent potential of user-generated content both to collect and share content with and from their audiences but also as a new tool for museum mediation.
This workshop aims at bringing together the dispersed knowledge of practitioners from the digital heritage community as well as researchers from neighboring disciplines to exchange best practices in engaging audiences, managing contributions and creating sustainable platforms for user-generated content.
