Hello,
Over the weekend I spoke with some folks from the Frederick Historical Society about Wikipedia and Wikisource and the value that their collection has. I mentioned the GLAM initiative to them, and they seemed interested. One person even printed out the GLAM page [0] for reference.
Do any of you have experience setting up GLAM initiatives with archives? They have a lot of pre-1927 documents and photos that I suspect could be very useful to Wikipedia editors and the public as a whole. How would be the best way to approach trying to set something up. I myself actually am not as familiar with GLAM as I could be. Is there any pages that I should make sure I am familiar with as well?
Note: This is unrelated to the edit-a-thon thread. The edit-a-thon is being hosted by my local public library. Here I am trying to set something up with my local historical society.
Thank you,
