Hello everyone!
If you're in the Baltimore, Maryland region, July 22-23 the Walters Art Museum and Baltimore
Heritage are hosting a GLAM-WIKI series of events that will bring
together Wikimedians involved in GLAM-WIKI and representatives from
GLAMs throughout the Baltimore region to meet,
talk, explore partnership options and ideas. This is a great chance to
learn more about the efforts Wikimedia is making to further
relationships between galleries, libraries, archives and museums.
The weekend starts with the Wikipedia & Cultural Heritage at the
Young Preservationists Happy Hour event on Friday, July 22 at 6:30pm, at the Midtown Yacht Club, an unpretentious neighborhood bar with affordable beer on tap and a solid bar menu.
On Saturday, July 23, the Walters Art Museum is hosting us from 10:00am-12:30pm for a meetup & discussion of GLAM-Wiki initiatives. (as a precursor for doing Wikipedia Takes Baltimore event in the Fall and other outreach events + meetups in Baltimore).
Please spread the word with your colleagues and we look forward to seeing you in the Charm City!
