Dear Open-GLAM community,
I hope this email finds you well and healthy.
My name is Mauricio Delfin (
http://mauriciodelfin.pe/) and I am a cultural
manager and researcher from Peru. I am also the director of Solar (
http://solar.pe/), a non-profit organization that promotes open government
principles and practices in the cultural sectors of Latin America.
I have been a member of this list for quite some time, interested in
eventually activating an Open-GLAM chapter in Peru. While I have not
managed to do so yet, I am currently developing a report on open data use
in the cultural sectors of Peru, with the support of the Latin America Open
Data Initiative (ILDA) <https://idatosabiertos.org/una-nueva-generacion/>.
As part of this project, I want to map organizations and initiatives that
promote the use of open data in the cultural sectors of the region.
I was wondering if anyone in this list is aware of (1) an updated map or a
database of Open-GLAM chapters or networks in Latin America, or of
groups working with open data in the arts and cultural sectors, and/or (2)
research initiatives concerning this subject and region of the world.
While my work will not focus exclusively on Open-GLAM initiatives, I would
like to mention this community in my report, and hopefully reach out to
some of these projects in Latin America, as I try to learn about and
connect with other civic projects and non-state organizations working with
open data in the cultural sectors.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, recommendations or resources you
may be able to share with me at this point.
Best,
Mauricio Delfin
Director, Asociación Civil Solar
