Hello, Pine

I believe that historically the first GLAM project in a Zoo was the one which we implemented in Bulgarian Wikipedia together with Sofia Zoo back in 2012-2013. It was funded by the Wikimedia Foundation (proposal - [1], report - [2], bg coordination page - [3]). 

For a brief overview, you can check two presentations in English -- one presented by me at the OpenGlam Conference 2013 in Warsaw and at the CEE Meeting 2014 in Kiev  [4], and another, presented by the Zoo collaborator Katerina Zareva at the EZE Conference 2015 in Lisbon [5].

Practically, the Skopje Zoo project, which Alex mentions, came as an outcome of the Sofia Zoo project (the first discussions being initiated in November 2013).

Bests,
Vassia / Spiritia

There are two Zoo projects mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Projects

For example, here is one of the Czech projects. Looks like mostly QRpedia codes, and improving those topics. There is a lot of need for good video/audio of different species, etc. Similarly, the hungarian project

Cheers, 

Alex

Hi GLAM folks,

Does anyone have experience with GLAM-type activities with aquariums and zoos? If so, how did it go?

Thanks,
Pine
