GLAM Research 2020-21[edit]
What
This project will map 15 major GLAM institutions from Maharashtra & two other states, and review their collections, challenges and limitations with the aim of exploring possibilities for better collaboration between cultural & public memory institutions and GLAM-Wiki initiatives.
Why
After completing the pilot project for GLAM mapping in Pune district, the methodology to work with Institutions and Wikimedians was evolved. It was realised that in spite of having eagerness to open up their collections to a wider public, there are anxieties related to copyrights, access, linguistic barriers and government funding policies. Some institutions have gone further to start collaboration process. CIS-A2K therefore plans a more focused research of major institutions to come up with national level recommendations and guidelines for collaborations.
Outcome
Case studies of two institutions and recommendations towards potential GLAM-Wiki collaborations, especially with sister projects such as WikiCommons, Wikisource and Wikidata.
