GLAMcamp DC
GLAMcamp DC was a meeting/workshop for Wikimedians active in outreach to cultural institutions in the United States. (More background here; this event was modeled on the 2011 GLAMcamp NYC and GLAMcamp Amsterdam.) In contrast to an open community conference like Wikimania, this was a workshop for a small group (about 25 people) of community-focused and technology-focused Wikimedians to continue and solidify the key elements of the glamwiki.org project, with special focus on the United States. A few representatives from cultural institutions who have worked with Wikimedia joined us during the event.

GLAMcamp DC was held in February 2012 at the National Archives and Records Administration.
