...I'll add to that that I have contacts with the library and archives
at both the Art Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I know if
there was a Wikipedia collaboration opportunity with the larger
organization the library & archive would love to be part of the
discussions from the outset.
In Philadelphia, there is a great organization called PACSCL - the
Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries. They are
a fantastic group and have done some really amazing collaborative work
together. They have worked through a number of projects to collectively
identify their highest value collections (from a research perspective)
and are now working to put a spotlight on those collections through
cataloging and digitization. As an organization, they would be very well
positioned to work with a local group of Wikipedians. I'd be delighted
to put you in touch with a few people there, especially if I knew a
little more about your interests. The library at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art is part of that group, as is the Barnes (I have no special
contacts at the Barnes). Shoot me a line off list if you'd like me to
follow up.
Best,

Or the Barnes Foundation?
Hi Ray,
I have a friend and colleague at the Art Institute of Chicago who is
part of the digital team and has expressed interest in a Wikipedian in
Residence or some other GLAM project in the next year. If you want
further details you can check with me off-list. There's not much to
report out publicly.
In regards to the Barnes Foundation, I don't believe we have any sort of
formal contact with them, but we do have active GLAM-Wikimedians in the
Philadelphia area, as well as a number of other GLAMs who have begun or
who have expressed interest in partnerships (the Philadelphia Museum of
Art, most notably.) Peter Ekman and Jake (Ocaasi).
Thanks!
Lori

Aloha,
Is anyone from GLAM working with the Art Institute of Chicago
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Institute_of_Chicago> ?
I live in Hawaii, so it is a little difficult for me to have a
relationship with them, although I have a son going to the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_of_the_Art_Institute_of_Chicago> .
Similarly, is anyone working with the Barnes Foundation

Thanks,
