Hello,
I have just gotten off the phone from a person in the Western Cape government to do a workshop at the government archives this coming Friday in Cape Town.
If anyone is interested in joining me the location is the Western Cape Archives and Record Service, 72 Roeland Street, Cape Town. The event will be at 11am to 1pm on Friday, 17 February.
Now that I think about it this would also be a good opportunity to set some thing up for a GLAM project there some time in the future. I would be delighted to get your thoughts on perhaps doing a GLAM event there, or some sort of GLAM project.
Thanks,
Douglas.
Hi, Douglas.
More excellent news! Thanks for this update. I encourage you to read up on, and share with the WCARS, the work of our recent Wikipedian-in-Residence at the United States National Archives and Records Administration[1]. I am CCing that Wikipedian-in-Residence, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, who may be able to make some further suggestions.
Cheers,
Asaf

Hello,
There has been a slight change of plans. The workshop on Friday has changed location and will no longer be held at the Western Cape Provincial Archives. The location has been moved to the Protea Assurance Building, Greenmarket Square, CapeTowm at the 8th Floor Boardroom. The time is unchanged and it will be held on the 17 February 2012 at 11am. Apparently the Western Cape Provincial Archives is being fumigated on Friday however I have spoken to some on there about possibly doing a GLAM project with them and I am now in the process of drawing up an email to ask the higher ups if it is possible.
Cheers,
Douglas. Discott
