The GLAM-Wiki initiative (GLAM is an acronym for galleries, libraries, archives and museums) helps cultural institutions share their resources with the world through high-impact collaboration alongside experienced Wikipedia editors. It is an unparalleled opportunity for the custodians of our cultural heritage to present their collections to new audiences. This page chronicles GLAM-related activity within the Cascadia region.
