Hello everyone!
If you're in the Baltimore, Maryland region, July 22-23 the Walters Art
Museum and Baltimore Heritage are hosting a GLAM-WIKI series of events that
will bring together Wikimedians involved in GLAM-WIKI and representatives
from GLAMs throughout the Baltimore region to meet, talk, explore
partnership options and ideas. This is a great chance to learn more about
the efforts Wikimedia is making to further relationships between galleries,
libraries, archives and museums.
The weekend starts with the Wikipedia & Cultural Heritage at the Young
Preservationists Happy Hour event on Friday, July 22 at 6:30pm, at the
Midtown Yacht Club, an unpretentious neighborhood bar with affordable beer
on tap and a solid bar menu.
On Saturday, July 23, the Walters Art Museum is hosting us from
10:00am-12:30pm for a meetup & discussion of GLAM-Wiki initiatives. (as a
precursor for doing Wikipedia Takes Baltimore event in the Fall and other
outreach events + meetups in Baltimore).
Please spread the word with your colleagues and we look forward to seeing
you in the Charm City!
