The Getty Makes Nearly 88,000 Art Images Free to Use However You Like [Shared]

Since the J. Paul Getty Museum launched its Open Content program back in 2013, we’ve been featuring their efforts to make their vast collection of cultural artifacts freely accessible online. They’ve released not just digitized works of art, but also a great many art history texts and art books in general. Just this week, they announced an expansion of access to their digital archive, in that they’ve made nearly 88,000 images free to download on their Open Content database under Creative Commons Zero (CC0). That means “you can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.”

EXTERNALCollection Systems Manager in Los Angeles, California | Careers at GettyAt Getty Digital, we're re-imagining how we can use data, software, and systems to provide a deeply connected and consistent experience for staff, scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts as they explore the rich and complex information held across the organization.     We are seeking a domain expert and talented manager for the role of Collection Systems Manager to lead a team of seven who oversee and administer Getty’s suite of collection management applications. This constellation of systems supports museum, library, and archives collection management functions, specialized collection data management (Getty Provenance Index, Getty Vocabularies), and digital asset management. This represents a unique opportunity to oversee the platforms essential for managing and disseminating Getty’s collection and research assets.     The Collection Systems Manager will support Getty Digital’s initiative to modernize workflows, reduce system redundancy, and further harmonize use and practices across our ecosystem to build a consistent, connected, and collaborative digital environment. To achieve this, we are looking for an experienced and inclusive leader to guide the work of a talented and close-knit team of product managers.

The Collection Systems Manager will interact with colleagues from across Getty’s campus, including engineers, librarians, museum information specialists, archivists, and staff from our communications, publications, and digital teams. Demonstrated experience building collegial and collaborative relationships across teams is essential.   The Getty is among the world’s most prestigious cultural heritage organizations, dedicated to furthering the study of the history of art. Our dynamic and beautiful campus is filled with art, archives and special collections, and a world-class research library. We offer 4 weeks of vacation a year, every other Friday off, and excellent benefits.    This position is a hybrid work environment opportunity; this is not a fully remote assignment.

‼️#Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is once again on the verge of blackout due to #Russian shelling, #Ukraine's Ministry of Energy stated.

One of the two power lines connecting the #NPP to the #Ukrainian electrical grid has been severed. Power engineers will be able to repair the damage as soon as the security situation allows.

#Europe’s largest nuclear plant has been occupied for three years by a country that disregards international conventions.

OH, SHIT!

There was some vegetation on fire near the Getty museum in an earlier report.

The museum is now reportedly on fire, per ABC7.

[Edit: It's the museum at Getty Villa, and so far, only trees and vegetation have burned, per the Villa.]
