With 500 million readers, 30 million articles in 280 languages and around 80,000 contributors, Wikipedia is a powerful and existing tool to increase access to heritage and to support heritage as a collective resource. Wikipedia online communities are already active in creating encyclopedic knowledge for everyone: they produce texts, images and translations, they respect copyright, they support institutions in providing open content for Wikipedia, and they have engaged with the contest Wiki Loves Monuments over 15’000 participants in 50 countries to produce 900,000 images documenting cultural heritage. Wikipedia recognizes the value of culture and it is an ally in heritage development; governments and institutions can play a key role in facilitating volunteer contributions with authorizations and freedom of panorama, and in acknowledging the value of this active citizenship supporting the heritage sector.
