Hi,

I'm a WiR for a large consortium of libraries and archives in New York, and I'm trying to establish a system for local GLAMs (of which there are many) to share resources, projects, and events. This would be different but possibly associated with the Wikimedia NYC chapter- the difference between them is that the purpose of this group would be to have GLAMs talking to each other, and right now, Wikimedia functions as more of a training/facilitating/article writing resource as far as I understand.

Has anyone had experience with setting up a localized GLAM-Wiki group or chapter or any ideas about online platforms for this type of group?

I'm considering different options like having a Wiki-Project: GLAM/NY Chapter page, having a local GLAM blog, or a local GLAM Twitter. Other ideas or precedents?

Dorothy
