This presentation will introduce attendees to the Zooniverse platform. Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most-known platform for online participatory research. Since 2009, almost 3 million volunteers around the world have contributed to more than 450 projects across disciplines from astronomy to history to zoology, each led by a different research team and reliant on public participation. In particular, this talk will use case studies to demonstrate the relationship between digital cultural heritage and participatory research, as well as what research teams do with their project results and data once their Zooniverse project is complete.
Attendees will leave with an increased understanding of what it means to run a participatory research project with digital cultural heritage materials.

This question arises in the Vorarlberg State Library with regard to a Phaidra-based photo collection featuring propaganda photographs of the Austrian National Socialists from 1938 to 1941. The collection is exceptional, as there are hardly any photographs from this period, and it is therefore of great importance for historical research. For the Library it was important to find a balance between free access to information and the responsibility for the correct presentation of sensitive historical materials. Contextualization and adaptation of the terms of use can be methods to find a solution. Ultimately, the photos were suitable for a much-noticed exhibition at the vorarlberg museum.

A Digital Sound Archive for the First World War: restoring a voice to silenced histories and research trajectories

This PhD project seeks to establish the first digital sound archive in Italy dedicated to the First World War. The initiative focuses on a vast body of oral sources collected during the second half of the Twentieth century by local, non-academic researchers who, acting independently, not only carried out the interviews, but also preserved their materials in private homes.
These archives have until now remained inaccessible and have not been adequately safeguarded by public institutions. Through the PHAIDRA platform, the project aims to collect and disseminate these resources for the first time, thus responding to the long-standing demand of Italian historians for access, while also seeking to restore a voice to historians and archivists who have cultivated their passion and developed independent research practices beyond academic institutions.
The digital archive housed on PHAIDRA recognizes the questions posed by historian-archivists, the meanings they attributed to their archives, and the motivations that guided their work as fundamental not only for the proper reuse of interviews, but also for bringing to light ways of practising oral history that were largely neglected by universities, which promoted a historiography distinct due to academic orthodoxy. In this sense, the digital sound archive also becomes a basis for a social history of historiography, shedding new light on the ways in which the First World War has been narrated and understood.
The presentation will focus on how this complex task of transmitting research experiences and sources has been undertaken in collaboration with Phaidra, as well as the results achieved to date, two years after the beginning of the PhD project.

Conservation, Accessibility and Public Engagement. A Dialectical Path.

The Ca' Foscari University of Venice Library System has created a macro-collection in Phaidra titled 'Discover the Library Heritage.' In this collection, rare or unique materials, held on the shelves of our libraries and previously displayed in on-site exhibitions during events, anniversaries, and special occasions, are preserved as digital copies and made available to the entire community. This experience gives rise to a critical reflection on the dialectical path between conservation, accessibility, and public engagement. In other words: do dissemination strategies actually reach the public? Does the hybrid model of physical events paired with digital access genuinely enhance user engagement and interest as intended?

Models to reproduce, models for designing, researching or teaching... In their variety and diversity, models can create bridges between fields of knowledge, between cultures, between theories and reality, between teachers and students.
Funded by the University of Padua's call that encourages projects for the development of Third Mission and Open Science activities, the project "Models. A journey through disciplines and cultures" has been proposed by the Department of Physics and Astronomy, in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Engineering, the Department of Information Engineering, and the University Centre for Museums, with the support of numerous external partners.
The project aims to place "Models" at the centre as tools for research, learning, communication and inclusion, from the past to the present day. In particular, it envisages the realisation of:
i) a temporary exhibition, "Models. Knowledge in three dimensions", which highlights little-known aspects of the University of Padua's history;
ii) the writing and staging of a theatrical performance "Caravanseraglio", centred on the astrolabe, a model of the Ptolemaic universe and symbol of cultural exchange through time;
iii) a series of seminars: "From model to application", and
iv) the creation of records for PHAIDRA not only on the models displayed in the temporary exhibition, but also on many other models from the various collections of the University of Padua.

From Academic Archive to Public Resource: Third Mission Strategy Using Phaidra for Historical Dissemination

CASREC, the University Centre for the History of the Resistance and the Contemporary Age at the University of Padua, has had amongst its principal aims since its establishment what we now call the Third Mission: disseminating its heritage to the public.
The Centre, incorporated within the University of Padua since 2014, has indeed inherited the material and ideological legacy of the Veneto Institute for the History of the Resistance, founded in 1949 by the protagonists of the Resistance in Padua and the Veneto region, to keep alive amongst scholars and the civilian population the memory of what occurred in this territory during the struggle against Nazi-Fascism from 1943 to 1945.
It is therefore a point of reference for academic scholars, researchers and students, but also for ordinary citizens who find memories of the past in its historical archive, comprising documents from various partisan formations, photographs, posters and leaflets.
A very important role in Third Mission activities has been played in recent years by the Phaidra digital repository, which has enabled the Centre to reach a vast audience by making available to scholars and citizens, including those from outside the local area, part of Casrec's extensive heritage.
The presentation will showcase some examples of Phaidra's use by this cultural centre, particularly the inclusion of collections of leaflets and clandestine publications from partisan formations, the precious collection of posters from the Italian Social Republic, the photographic archive, including the latest collection relating to the Sergio Nave collection, with its compilation of images of Allied aerial bombardments on Padua and the surrounding territory.

The Vorarlberg State Library uses retro-digitisation to facilitate long-term access to its image collections and makes the content available to all in a user-friendly way on its PHAIDRA-based repository, „volare“. Traditional resources and methods are limited when it comes to processing large volumes of high-quality data, so new and innovative methods are being explored to generate descriptions and metadata more efficiently. The sMapshot crowdsourcing platform allows digital image files to be georeferenced to a geographical location and landscape images to be positioned on a virtual 3D globe. This geoinformation makes it possible to calculate place names such as cities, districts or mountains.

The presentation highlights the efforts of the University Library “Svetozar Marković” in Belgrade, as the central library of the University of Belgrade, in connecting and integrating the activities of the EU-funded project Milagro, within the framework of the CERV program, with its long-standing experience in using the PHAIDRA repository. In this way, the Library has moved beyond its traditional role of supporting academic and research work at the University and has stepped into the field of addressing concrete issues faced by citizens and individuals in need.
The Milagro Project (MIgrants and Local communities Actively GROwing together for inclusive societies) aims to contribute to raising awareness of the state of migration through various project tasks, and, at the same time, to enable cooperation and mutual understanding between migrant and local communities through the exchange of experiences. Together with partners from Italy (NACU, SIS – Siena) and the Netherlands (UCU – Utrecht), the Library has adapted its daily activities—including various forms of education, workshops, and training—to a new target group, thereby expanding its experience and approaches.
All educational activities within the Milagro Project gain a new and essential dimension: practical application. They are closely linked to the everyday challenges of the migrant population, such as recognizing discrimination, providing first aid, or acquiring basic computer skills. As part of the project, an Observatory website was established, with the interactive map as a core component. Though it is named a repository, it is mainly a visual tool for locating civil society organizations that provide assistance to migrants.
Within this context, it became evident that establishing a new PHAIDRA Milagro system —both as a research support tool and as an open science platform— would bring genuine added value to the project, in particular through interoperability. PHAIDRA Milagro functions as a fully developed thematic repository that gathers not only scientific papers, but also reports, data, and electronic resources on the topic of migration. These materials can be preserved long-term, described using a standardized set of metadata, and shared with other systems.
In this way, PHAIDRA Milagro combines research capacities with pressing civic issues, enabling mutual improvement and stronger connections. Ultimately, through these activities, the Library —by stepping into new thematic areas— becomes enriched with new experiences and expanded functions.
