Hi Lucia,
Below some interesting (Italian) initiatives regarding Open Source in
Heritage Contexts:
ArcheOS
ArcheOS is the acronym of Archeological Operating System. It is a GNU/Linux
live distribution built for archaeological aims.
Here you can find a very clear presentation of ArcheOS (including the
software it contains; a lot of it is also available for Windows/Mac):

ArcheoFOSS
"Free, Libre and Open Source Software and Open Formats in the process of
archaeological research".
Yearly two day conference in Italy about the use of OS in
archaeology/heritage context.

> Hi there,
>
> I'm looking for examples of projects using Open Source to develop digital
> museum/heritage products. I've recently started on a project looking at
> developing digital content based on museum collections and sites (whatever
> that may be) and want to gather some examples of how it would work.
>
> I'm particularly interested any examples from a Local Authority point of
> view and if you had any in issues through your corporate ICT or Comms team
> in going down this route. Also if there are any policies out there on using
> Open Source that would be great. I've already carried out a bit of research
> but would be interested to find out 'how not to do it'.
