Subject: [libraries] GLAM: Frederick Historical Society
To: Wikimedia & Libraries <[email protected]>


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,
