GLOSS
Mae GLAM yn acronym am Galeriau, Llyfrgelloedd, Archifdai a Mwy!. Dyma graig yr oesoedd yr wybodaeth solad a ddefnyddiwn (ynghyd a phrifysgolion).
When we make use of the original material we get from our partnering GLAM, we may make changes to the material. This is one of the freedoms that we insist on. However by retaining the original material as well and by referring to it and from it always to the GLAM we provide the provenance needed for our illustrations. When we share material with a GLAM, the annotations are typically quite technical. Some of the material have their own stories. At this time we do not really have a place for them.
