GLAM Project Description

Welcome to the McGill University Library and Archives GLAM Page! This page brings together different Wiki projects in which the Library and Archives participate. 

Since 2014, current and former librarians have offered Wikipedia support, edit-a-thons and have collaborated with teaching faculty to integrate Wikipedia in the classroom.  

These projects hope to highlight unique collections and fonds at the McGill University Library and Archives, provide Wikimedians with our digitized resources to contribute to the continued improvement of Wikipedia articles (and its sister projects) related to our collection strengths.
