Manifesto for free access to digital archives

The Passenger Pigeon Manifesto is a call for cultural institutions to open their digital archives for free use by the public. You can see the manifesto in the link below.

It would mean a loss of income from copyright for organisations who are already short of money but on the other hand it would help greatly increase access to our cultural heritage, and, it would help preserve these items, at least digitally, into the long distance future.

So, to my mind, a good thing. I’m trying to find out how to sign up.

Please note it is not asking for low quality reproduction but the high definition copies.

Please leave me a comment - its great to hear what you think.
