GLAM

GLAM is an acronym for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. It also incorporates other cultural institutions such as theatres, zoos, botanical gardens, public broadcasters etc.

About

Liam Wyatt, Lori Phillips, Benoît Evelin and Sarah Stierch at Wikimania 2011 in Haifa, Israel. They are all Wikipedians in Residence at various GLAMs around the world: the British Museum, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the Château de Versailles and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.

The GLAM-WIKI project supports GLAMs and other institutions who want to work with Wikimedia to produce open-access, freely-reusable content for the public.

Different GLAMs have different needs and goals for their projects, and we fit those with Wikimedia's goals of free knowledge. From existing partnerships we've compiled a number of model projects, for which we have case studies on how they've worked in practice.
