Hey Itzik!
What a great project! Thats working with a television studios' archive: so in my mind thats definitely GLAM!
We find that much the same models used by GLAM-Wiki are being applied to other kinds of institutional relationships -- like with STEM and with government organizations -- so frequently the concept of GLAM-Wiki grows beyond its typical scope and boundaries. But we need to also keep in mind that the professoins that work in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums also have very different assumptions: they both share our mission of sharing knowledge with the world, and they have certain professional understandings tied to how they deal with that knowledge.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Hi friends,
Something I think will be interesting for some of you. Can such partnership could be consider as GLAM as well?
