This document discusses opportunities for collaboration between GLAM institutions and Wikimedia to make cultural collections more accessible online. It notes that many GLAMs have volunteer programs but few have e-volunteer programs, and suggests they work together using the same model. Recommendations include addressing licensing issues, sharing expertise through projects like uploading works with descriptions, and assessing impacts through qualitative and quantitative measures. The goal is to freely share more cultural works while respecting copyright.

16. “[The British Museum is] one of the
broadest-ranging cultural collections
in the world. Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia, is the most consulted
and largest compendium of knowledge
ever compiled. By harnessing the
expertise of the British Museum and the
reach of Wikipedia, this project
aims to bring mutual benefit to both
organisations.” - @matthewcock
