GLAM School
This is the home of the GLAM School project. The page is in progress, and will continue to evolve over 2022.
GLAM School is a project by AvoinGLAM to chart out, uncover, and support practices that help GLAM professionals, GLAM-Wiki volunteers, Open GLAM advocates and others to be more empowered to contribute to Wikimedia and other open projects.
In 2022 we are conducting surveys, chats, and interviews across organizations and networks involved in providing Open Access to cultural heritage. Based on the responses, we try to bring ideas into action while we go.
Discussion summaries
[edit]The interview and the survey will focus on a selection of topics. Each topic will be summarized on their individual page. All of the topics can additionally be commented on their respective discussion pages.
Interviews / chats
[edit]We will conduct at least 15 interviews with different organizations and individuals working with GLAM. It is important that the selection represents a wide geographic, linguistic, and thematic diversity.
