MetadataGames is a free and open-source digital gaming platform for gathering data on photo, audio, and moving image artifacts[1] for use by archivists and researchers. Metadata games were developed by Dartmouth College's Tiltfactor Lab with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, American Council of Learned Societies and the Neukom Institute for Computational Science.[2]
Metadata Games uses digital media from: the American Antiquarian Society, the Boston Public Library, the British Library, Dartmouth College’s Rauner Special Collections Library, the Open Parks Network at Clemson University, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Library, the University of California-Irvine Library, the University of California-Los Angeles Chicano Studies Research Center, and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.[3]
