Last night the Graduate Center of the City University of New York held a
panel discussion with four museum professionals:
Christina DePaolo, Balboa Park Online Collaborative
Michael Edson, Smithsonian Institution
William Noel, University of Pennsylvania
Neal Stimmler, Metropolitan Museum of Art
The web announcement for the event is here:

Although the evening was billed as a session on museums and digital
humanities, it was devoted to thoughts, ideas and strategies about museums
engaging with the digital world. Although Wikipedia was mentioned only
once, all of these individuals appeared extremely determined to open their
collections to the public through digitization, and creating/adding value
to them by harnessing the knowledge of the communities that are attracted
to them.
One of the questions at the end wondered why all the institutions used
Flickr instead of their own websites. The responses made an argument for
being "out there," that people will find the materials more easily when
they're on Flickr than if kept within the museums' sites.
You can still catch most of the tweets if you search the hashtag: #cunydhi
I mention it here because they video-recorded the panel. I strongly
suspect the video could become a forceful argument for convincing
organizations to partner with GLAM-Wiki people. I'll watch out for when
the video become available and maybe someone can post the link on the
Wikimedia GLAM pages.

A nice web site detailing a study of museum policies and licenses, an
analog of what Billy and I are doing for data repositories.

I've not heard of any WiRs in Minnesota yet, so I may be the closest you get. I'm a GLAM-Wiki outreach volunteer and librarian based in St Paul. I would love to be involved however I can be of assistance.

Hi folks,
Is there someone who is currently serving as Wikipedian-in-Residence at the
Walker Arts Center? Or someone else in Minneapolis - or even Chicago? Or
is there a previous WiR who could be in Minneapolis during June 2013?
Merrilee Profitt (of OCLC) and I would like to propose a session about
Wikipedia/Wikimedia/GLAM, etc. at the forthcoming RBMS preconference (Rare
Books and Manuscripts Section of the American Library Association) which
meets in Minneapolis in June 2013. It would be nice to have a person who
is actually participating in a project or has done so in the past.
Let me know! Thanks!
