Wolfsonian (Miami Beach) interested in partnering with GLAM Wikipedia
by Mary Mark Ockerbloom 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

As some of you may know, Jeff Guin, who started the GLAM-wiki collaboration at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, PA, USA has recently moved to a very cool job at the Wolfsonian in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. Initiatives he started here include CHF's Wikipedian in Residence position and the GLAM Cafe initiative, an ongoing monthly get-together for digital humanities and Wikipedia folks. Jeff is working to get something similar going at the Wolfsonian and would like to make contact with Wikipedians in the Miami area. I promised I would notify people on GLAM-related mailing lists. If you are interested in possible developments at the Wolfsonian, you can contact Jeff directly, using his new email at the Wolfsonian: jguin(a)thewolf.fiu.edu Thanks! Mary Mark Ockerbloom, Wikipedian in Residence, Chemical Heritage Foundation
