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,
