Cultivating Cultural Heritage Research: Growing the Shared Repository Service for GLAM institutions

The Shared Repository Service for GLAM sector institutions turns eight in spring 2026, and with this comes a new phase of growth: to scale the Service up to provide an institutional repository for as many research-producing organisations as possible. From organisations with worldwide recognition, to smaller but by no means lesser institutions, the SRS is committed to expanding over 2026-2029 to incorporate a minimum of 25 partners. This talk will give a short history of the SRS, a description of the platform itself and how we propose to grow the Service.
