Creative Commons licenses provide a streamlined, machine-readable method for releasing archival materials for reuse on the web. They can allow media to be used readily on Wikipedia, or finding aids from multiple archives to be combined into creative new linked data projects. Following an overview of the appropriate application of Creative Commons licenses for archivists, the presenters provide examples of innovative projects that use CC to make archival description and materials more widely available.
