Editorial Application

The Cultural Inventory operates on a philosophy based on participation and collaboration. By joining the Cultural Inventory’s editorial team, you can become a “Cultural Ambassador” for the place where you live or any region of your choice.

A Cultural Ambassador is someone who identifies, researches, and creates content about cultural assets in their vicinity—in short, someone who takes responsibility for cultural assets. They work in collaboration with other Cultural Ambassadors, exchanging information to fill in gaps, verify details, and organize content. By working together, they contribute to the development of the Cultural Inventory.

If you’d like to join us as an editor, please send us a short text introducing yourself and explaining your motivation, along with a draft attachment—prepared according to the Cultural Inventory standards—for at least three cultural assets not yet registered on the site. If we find your application suitable, we will strive to respond as soon as possible.

Report errors or fill in missing information

If you notice an error in the parameters defined for a cultural asset or realize that information is missing, you can use the “Report an Error” or “Contribute” link located at the bottom of that page.

For missing entries, you can send an email with the name of the relevant cultural asset, its location (in latitude and longitude), and any other information or images you wish to add.

Submit Photos

You can also contribute to the Cultural Inventory by submitting your photos. In addition to photos, you can include visual documents such as engravings, drawings, paintings, and maps that serve as historical records. Please specify which cultural asset the documents you have pertain to and send them to us via email. We ask that you include a brief description of the visual document and, if possible, the first and last name of the person who created it, along with the year. This information will appear as a photo caption in the gallery for the relevant cultural asset.

Licensing of Your Photos and Usage Rights for the Cultural Inventory

Unless otherwise specified, images you submit that you have taken yourself will be published on the site under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

By uploading your photo to the Cultural Inventory website, you agree to make the image available to the public (website visitors) under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.
