Hello all!
Every month the newsletter
This Month in GLAM
is published in what various chapters, volunteers, users and GLAMs
write about stories and experiences in what galleries, libraries,
archives, museums, and various other institutions and organisations work
together with Wikipedia/Wikimedia or open up their collections or data
and release them to the public domain or under a free license.
A
lot of those stories and experiences are described in the newsletter,
but those originate mostly from North America and Europe, while the
newsletter is intended to give an overview of GLAM stories from all over
the world, as all of them are worth telling and sharing. How can we
reach out more to Africa, Asia and South America?
Therefore
I am looking for volunteers who can help me/us with contacting
chapters, GLAM organisers, Wikipedians in Residence, and others who are
willing to share their stories and and experiences. Who wants to help
reaching out?
How can you help?
- Inform chapters and volunteers about the existence of the monthly newsletter.
- Contact GLAM organisers and ask them to write a report about their activities.
- Search for releases as open data or releases of text or media under a free license and write about them.
- Write about your experiences in organising offline activities and collaborations with other organisations.
- Communicate
about the newsletter, share it with your colleagues, with other
volunteers and inform GLAMs about the existence of the newsletter where they can read about what other organisations do.
Who wants to help out?
If you want to help, you can start right away.
I am also happy to say that the newsletter This Month in GLAM has been published 50 times!
Congratulations all!
Since
December 2010 Rock drum published a monthly newsletter what I took over
from him in November 2012. We have maintained the newsletter, but we
couldn't do this without the Wikimedia community who has written the
contents of the newsletter. So, thank you all for writing and I hope you
will continue to share your experiences and stories with the next 50
editions!
I am looking for someone who can help me with making a new logo that has a similar style as GLAM-WIKI. Who can help me?
Thanks!
Romaine
