Dear all,

My name is Federica Papiccio, Interdisciplinary PhD Candidate from the Schools of Art History and Computer Science at the University of St Andrews. I am kindly requesting your participation in a research study titled Participation in Collections Management: Crowdsourcing's Potential to Enhance Metadata and Democratise Access to Heritage Objects. The aim is to explore the uses of crowdsourcing in cultural heritage institutions and investigate how AI technologies may complement or potentially alienate crowdsourcing approaches in data-enhancement projects.

Your insights would be invaluable to this research. The survey takes approximately 15 / 20 minutes to complete. Please click on the link below to access the survey and submit the completed questionnaire by Monday the 30th of September.

Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time or omit any question you prefer not to answer.

If you know colleagues who might be interested in participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them. This study aims to reach the widest possible cultural heritage community.

Should you have any questions about this project, please don't hesitate to contact me at fp46@st-andrews.ac.uk.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

With all best wishes,

Federica
