The goal was to create hires 3D models and textures in which one could zoom in to see fine details but still be able to view them online on a normal laptop. We had no prior experience with photogrammetry, or any other 3D techniques, but we had both a photographer (myself) and knowledge about computer software/hardware ( Fredrik Andersson) in house. In 2016 we ran a project together with the Swedish Exhibition Agency with the purpose of evaluating photogrammetry as a potential way of making our collections more accessible. In 2015, Europeana wrote a case study called “ Making a big impact on a small budget ” about our work on opening up our digital collections.” By the end of 2016 there were about 46.000 images shared and we recently passed 50 million page views on Wikimedia. “Our collection database has been open to the public for many years and since 2013 we are also sharing all of our hires 2D images under open licenses through Wikimedia Commons and Europeana. “Openness and accessibility are core values in our organization” Says Erik Lernestål, Deputy Head of Department, Collections and Digital Resources.
