The Universal Viewer: radically inclusive software development for digital cultural heritage
Sustaining open source software can be challenging. We discuss collaboration on the Universal Viewer (UV), software designed to display cultural heritage collections. We highlight methods including innovative, inclusive and multi-institution sprints. We showcase UV’s evolution, including accessibility and user experience enhancements, future plans and ways for others to contribute.
