The GLAM-Wiki initiative (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums with
Wikipedia) helps knowledge and cultural institutions share their resources with the world
through collaborative projects with experienced Wikipedia editors.
The GLAM-Wiki US Consortium helps facilitate this process among U.S. organizations, Wikimedia chapters, and individuals in order to explore using Wikimedia platforms for sharing knowledge. This network discusses ideas, shares resources, collaborates on projects, establishes best practices, and builds expertise, as communities united by a common interest in open knowledge and culture.
Our Vision: To foster knowledge-sharing among US cultural organizations and Wikimedia projects, cultivating expertise and an ethic of sharing in open collaborations that engage the public with its cultural heritage.
GLAMcamp DC (February 2012) was hosted by the National Archives and Records Administration, and organized by Pete Forsyth, Sarah Stierch and Lori Phillips
