Global GLAM Calls: Community Building in Cultural Heritage
The Wikimedia Movement relies heavily on its partnerships with cultural heritage institutions—central to which is the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) community. These organizations play a vital role in expanding free knowledge by hosting editathons and providing resources for Wikipedia.
A Space to Share and Connect
Since 2024, the GLAM community has engaged in regular online meetups, fostering idea exchange, project discussion, and the sharing of success stories. These meetings celebrate innovations in libraries, museums, and archives.
New Support in 2026
In 2026, the Content Partnerships Hub was introduced to enhance these discussions, providing structured support and outreach to foster engagement among community members. Volunteers coordinate the Global GLAM Calls, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere for participation.
Keeping History Organized
With the Hub’s backing, navigating the history of past topics has improved, thanks to tools like Metabase and organized information pages on Meta-Wiki. This allows easy access to past call records including Zoom recordings and agendas.

If you are involved in cultural heritage and Wikimedia projects, the upcoming Global GLAM Call on October 27 is a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and learn more about getting involved.
