Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum collaboration[edit]
A couple of my fellow Wikipedians have suggested that I mention the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum collaboration to the GLAM Newsletter and, considering that I am the Wikipedian in Residence, I though that I'd mention what we've been doing together here. First of all, there is a collaboration on Wikimedia Commons that has already resulted in the uploading of over 11,000 photographs and scans of documents. Also, there is the new WikiProject Gerald Ford on English Wikipedia which has completed preliminary tagging and assessment and already had a number of successful DYK articles (as well as one more in the works), and a WikiProject on Wikisource focused on transcribing scanned documents. On top of all this, we have also had a successful edit-a-thon (photos here). I don't know how exactly all of this should be formatted, but I thought it would be nice if you could work a mention in for the collaboration in the next GLAM Newsletter. Thanks so much! (If you need or want to contact me, please leave me a message at either my English Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons talk page: just follow the link(s) from my user page here on Outreach: thanks!)

- I see it is added here, it seems fine to me! :-) Romaine (talk) 13:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Switzerland Report[edit]
May I ask you to also include the Switzerland report?. Maybe you could also set it up a pre-defined report template for the future - Many thanks. Beat Estermann (talk) 21:09, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Added! The Switzerland report will be in the newsletter. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 13:47, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

May 2013[edit]
I know that several Amsterdam hackathon participants worked on GLAM-related tools - Maarten Dammers was there, for instance! Sharihareswara (WMF) (talk) 12:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Example: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Talk:Amsterdam_Hackathon_2013/What_I_did_in_the_hackathon/reply_(9) Jean-Fred's work. Sharihareswara (WMF) (talk) 14:54, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your suggestion. I Personally do not have knowledge about it and it appears that the GLAM coordinator in the Netherlands has neither. Maybe it is good to have a special story purely focused on GLAM related tools, if you have knowledge or know who to write to, please do. Romaine (talk) 23:48, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
June[edit]
Hi, I'm one of the State Library of NSW people working on our collaborative wikipedia project - would you be interested in an article for the June edition about the experiences of a GLAM institution having a Wikipedian in Residence and running a Wikipedia project? Aliaretiree and I would be the co-authors. Rubicon49bce (talk) 05:08, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Rubicon49bce, To answer your question: yes, we are certainly interested in articles about that subject. The subject was already covered and I had limited time, but if you have a story next time, just write about it! The handiest way to start is in the newsroom. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Greetings - Romaine (talk) 02:16, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
July 2013[edit]
I've just received the latest issue of the periodical Fontes Artis Musicae, the journal of the International Association of Music Libraries (the latest issue is dated January-March 2013--they're always a little behind). The lead article "RIdIM: Cataloguing Music Iconography Since 1971" talks about the Répertoire International d'Iconographie Musicale, an international project devoted to cataloging iconography that has musical content (for example, an image of a person playing an instrument). The article talks about its conversion from being a local database to an freely accessible online database. When possible, the database links to images on an institution's website, but when that's not available, it links to the Commons. It even mentions the 18,000 images provided by the Walters Art Museum to the Commons.
I mention this as a notice for "in the news." However, I've known of this project since the 1980s and even know at least one of the people in charge of it. Might this be an opportunity to foster a greater collaboration with GLAM? -- Kosboot (talk) 01:55, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Tartupedia[edit]
A project like Monmouthpedia. I've noticed the project called in Estonian "Tartupeedia" (in english "Tartupedia"). I've started a regular correspondence with Raul Veede (the organizer) that he've overwhelmed me with information about the project in English. In this way everyone can know about this. If you want I'll send you the Raul's text in English.
