• Description:

Baltimore's Young Preservationist Happy Hour is back in Mount Vernon for a quick talk on exciting new partnerships between cultural heritage organizations and everyone's favorite online reference-- Wikipedia! From the British Library to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, cultural heritage organizations are engaging with the Wikipedia community to connect people with accurate and engaging information on public art, historic places, and more. Join us at 6:30pm for a talk by Sarah Stierch (Wikipedian-in-Residence for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art) or just drop by for a beer when you can. Despite the name and the location just across the street from the Peabody Conservatory, the Midtown Yacht Club is an unpretentious neighborhood bar with affordable beer on tap and a solid bar menu.

• Cost: Free
• Description:

Join Baltimore Heritage, Wiki DC organizer Katie Filbert, and the new Wikipedian-in-Residence for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, Sarah Stierch, for a discussion hosted by the Walters Museum of Art on exciting work that museums & libraries have been doing with Wikipedia across the country (and new opportunities here in Baltimore). Partnerships between GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) institutions and Wikimedia (the non-profit that manages the widely used Wikipedia) have been sweeping the world as museums, libraries, archives, and broadcasters--including the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the Milwaukee Arts Board, the British Library, and the Palace of Versailles--have partnered with Wikipedia and Wikimedia to share photographs, create new high-quality articles, document public art, and more.
