Archives of American Art task force has an assessment table and wikiproject template and some other stuff that could be merged. Also, how should this GLAM project page relate to WP:GLAM/SI? And ideas on what we can do to cleanup and improve WP:GLAM/SI? (it needs #wikilove !) --Aude (talk) 02:14, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reminding me about the assessment table. The amount of work that I'm going to be doing for AAA will basically end up drowning out the SI page, and after consulting with staff this past week, I decided this was best. It also goes along the streamlining theme that we emphasized at GLAMcamp. I'm going to primarily focus on AAA right now, so I'm not sure what to do with GLAM/SI at this point. One idea: perhaps GLAM/SI can serve as a portal for directing people towards SI related institutions? I did seek input and assistance from GLAMWIKImedians who have interest in contributing and are savvy with table design, so perhaps the broader community can help to brainstorm about GLAM/SI, further.

Agree that a separate page or project is good, but think some aspects of what you are doing are relevant to the main WP:GLAM/SI project, such as workshops for the staff. It would be nice to keep WP:GLAM/SI going in some form and have a way to connect Wikipedians with curators at other SI museums, if possible and someone is interested. Perhaps we could put this project at WP:GLAM/SI/AAA and make it a full project rather than a task force, yet keep it connected somehow with WP:GLAM/SI? --Aude (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sarah and Aude, I'm really interested in becoming a contributor on the GLAM/SI project, but noticed that the SI project might not be open to new contributors. I'm currently contributing to GLAM/AAA, but would love to also participate in the broader SI GLAMWikimedia community. Please let me know if there's anything I could do to be of assistance! --SarahNEmerson (talk) 16:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
@Sarah we currently don't have any other projects with other Smithsonian units right now. As they develop, there will be project pages created for them. Thank you for your enthusiasm and interest! SarahStierch (talk) 16:32, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Still need help with tagging pages as related to this project? I didn't get that far but could help more. --Aude (talk) 02:15, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the new talk page / assessment template is better. If you want, I can help re-tag pages, swapping the original WP:GLAM/SI template with this one. I'd be interested in cross-referencing what's in AAA and SAAM or Hirshhorn(for example) and if the artist has papers / artwork in both, then keep WP:GLAM/SI tag? What do you think? --Aude (talk) 15:45, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks for the invite, letting me know about this project. I'm actually interning at the Smithsonian this summer, so I'm around, and would love to attend some of these brown bags. Are you planning on putting out announcements on people's talk pages or something? Because that would be wonderful. Cheers. LordAmeth (talk) 10:20, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! That's great you're interning at SI! The brown bags are only for those working at the Smithsonian, including interns. Please email me and I can provide you with the information about the first one (it's this Tuesday) - stierchs@si.edu I look forward to meeting you!

hey sarah, if you want some help herding brown bags (standing in back) let me know. Slowking4 (talk) 18:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have requested a popular pages report for this project from Mr.Z-bot. The report will live at Wikipedia:GLAM/AAA/Popular pages and will be generated once a month. Kaldari (talk) 20:46, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever happened with this? Looks like Mr.Z-bot hasn't delivered...yet? :) SarahStierch (talk) 15:37, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I added this to the Joint projects list of WikiProject United States[edit]
I hope its ok with the project but I added three of the GLAM US related projects to the Joint projects listing of WikiProject United States today. These are teh NARA, Smithsonian and Archives of American Art. Doing this will allow the articles and projects additional visibility and will allow them to be covered by the bots and things running on the articles in the WikiProject United States' scope. --Kumioko (talk) 18:09, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Proposal for United States A-Class review process[edit]
Is there any opposition to moving these pages to reflect the full name of the organization (Archives of American Art)? I think abbreviations should be reserved for redirects, and that way (when browsing categories or project pages) readers know which institution is being referred to? --Another Believer(Talk) 17:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
