Ah and I forgot to mention that we also have an ongoing partnership with
the Gerald Ford Presidential Library. Our lead contact there, Bettina, is
cc'd. I'm sure she'd love a partner in crime, as she's thinking through
and
beginning work at her institution as well.
Please note that I'm disregarding any knowledge of Michigan geography that
I may or may not have, so I'm sorry if some of this information is less
relevant. : )

Hi Johanna-
Thanks for reaching out! We do actually have a bit of activity and support
in the Michigan area.
We have a GLAM volunteer, Chris Leeder, at the University of Michigan. He
is also supported by Cheryl Moy, who has been involved in the Campus
Ambassador program.
We also have a professor at Michigan State who has expressed interest in
helping regional GLAMs and connecting projects with his students and
coursework.
We have an ongoing partnership with The Henry Ford. If you'd like to reach
out to them to seek mutual support for GLAM projects, I'm happy to share
their contact information with you off-list. Likewise, we have an advocate
at the Chippewa Nature Center.
If you're still thinking through what sort of project or partnership is
right for you, you can go through this step-by-step guide on the GLAM-Wiki
US "Contribute" page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Contribute
Do let me know if you'd like further contact details off-list. Cheryl and
Chris are cc'd as a ping for them, since I believe they're both already on
this list.
Best,
Lori

Hello,
I work for the Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at
Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. We are an archives
specializing in labor history, Detroit urban history, and the history of
Wayne State University. We recently became aware of your GLAM
initiative, and we are interested in becoming involved. I am writing to see what
next steps we should take. I did not see any local contacts or chapters
in the Detroit area. We would be interested in having a Wikimedian assigned to
us. Alternatively, we'd like some guidance on what we can do internally
without a Wikimedian being assigned to us. Please feel free to contact
me through any of the methods listed in my signature below.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Johanna Russ
