<br></div>GLAMout is a monthly online event where people give updates about their work connecting Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAMs) with Wikipedia, helping their staff to improve Wikipedia articles, or upload their photo collections to Wikimedia Commons, etc. It's a fun event, and it's always First Friday, so easy to remember -- get your GLAM on in the afternoon, then get your art on at night :)<br>
