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,

Derric Atzrott
