This Year’s Theme: “On the Move” Throughout history, people have left their homes for a variety of reasons and have found themselves in faraway places. This has led to encounters with foreign lands, their inhabitants, their customs, their flora and fauna. Cultural heritage collections are full of artifacts resulting from and bearing witness to those people “on the move”: archival records, travel reports, audiovisual documents, object collections, oral histories etc. These artifacts weave an invisible web between people and places, between events and stories being told about them, between heritage collections and scholars, and between the people of every generation making sense of them – through artistic creation, through the (de-)construction of collective memories, or by

This Year’s Theme: “On the Move”
Throughout history, people have left their homes for a variety of reasons and have found themselves in faraway places. This has led to encounters with foreign lands, their inhabitants, their customs, their flora and fauna. Cultural heritage collections are full of artifacts resulting from and bearing witness to those people “on the move”: archival records, travel reports, audiovisual documents, object collections, oral histories etc. These artifacts weave an invisible web between people and places, between events and stories being told about them, between heritage collections and scholars, and between the people of every generation making sense of them – through artistic creation, through the (de-)construction of collective memories, or by exploiting them in the pursuit of political or economic interests.
The thematic focus is intended as a source of inspiration; hackathon participants are free to work on other topics related to cultural heritage.

Free as in freedom
We thank our sponsors for being able to offer free tickets and support to all GLAMhack participants. However, places are strictly limited and we hope to account for everyone. If you register for an event and do not show up, this means that someone else may not be able to participate, and it will generate food waste. Therefore we kindly ask you to notify us as soon as you can in the event of sickness or change of plans. Failing to do this, we ask you to make a voluntary donation of 100 CHF.
