hi FN,
The GLAM initiative is a collaboration between Wikipedians and a cultural institution to
seek ways to seek collaborations that are mutually beneficial. From the Wikimedians view
point, the cultural institution provides access to knowledge that could be used on
Wikipedia or its sister projects. This is explained in detail here -
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM
Making a list of cultural institutions by state is a good place to start.
At the outset, a cultural collaboration that GLAM seeks to be can be more fun and
fulfilling when done as a community. It could also be considered as a tool to build this
community. Lacking a community in an area where cultural institution is interested would
place too high a stress on an individual unless he/she is passionate. Then too, it would
rather be a waste of the volunteer's passion, IMHO. Having a community, helps to enjoy
and share the burden of the task.
I am interested in knowing whether there is a community flourishing in Goa? We have seen a
small group of activities in the recent past and we are hopeful that a small core
community is getting built there. Please feel free to ask us for any help needed.
warm regards,
Pradeep

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] GLAM initiative... need some pointers
Dear all:
I heard of the GLAM initiative from Nitika and team, when they visited Goa during their
previous trip, and facilitated by friends at Goa University, the Krishnadas Shama Central
Library (Panjim), etc.
Of course, a lot more work is to go into this, but as the starting point, I just thought
of listing some prominent institutions here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Galleries,_Libraries,_Museums_and_Arch…
All the information is not yet complete... and some institutions are yet to get their own
pages. But maybe a start. Can you offer any pointers as to how we could get more relevant
information about these GLAMs onto the Wikipedia? Any pages one could check up for
guidance? FN
