Copeland is co-editor for “Participatory Heritage”

How can heritage institutions work with their communities to build broader, more inclusive, and culturally relevant collections? Professor Andrea Copeland is co-editor for Participatory Heritage, a new volume of selected international case studies that addresses the question.

Copeland, associate professor in the Department of Library and Information Science at the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI, worked with co-editor Henriette Roued-Cunliffe—assistant professor at the Royal School of Library and Information Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark—to explore research that looks at new challenges for cultural heritage institutions that are brought about by social media as a platform for facilitating human organization.
