Oh, don't worry, we do! And we're not alone - many of the digital staff
working in various institutions are very open to this, as are some funders
of them (e.g. Europeana)
Of course the best possible sell is showing what could be done with
material once it was released... :)

understood it better.
I could be wrong, but that's my general
impression.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Livetweeting the Battle of Arras (1917)
Just a note for the World War I buffs amongst you - there's quite an
interesting plan by Oxford University to crowdsource a livetweet of the
Battle of Arras. More info here:
http://ww1centenary.oucs.ox.ac.uk/?p=253
I'm planning to take part and other Wikimedians
would be very welcome.
You might notice that the organisers have taken a licensing approach of
putting the
eventual resource they are creating from this initiative under
CC-BY-NC, but nevertheless encouraging participants to digitise their own
materials and put them on Commons. So that's 50% right ;-)
