Baltimore's Young Preservationist Happy Hour meets Wikipedia on July 22

[Eli]

Hello all,

Baltimore's Young Preservationist Happy Hour is back in Mount Vernon
on Friday, July 22 for our usual beers plus a quick talk from the the
new Wikipedian-In-Residence at the Smithsonian Archives of American
Art! Can't get enough Wikipedia in one evening? Come out to the first
GLAM Wiki Partnerships in Baltimore meeting hosted by the Walters Art
Museum on Saturday, July 23.

Young Preservationist Happy Hour meets Wikipedia
Friday, July 22, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Midtown Yacht Club, 15 East Centre Street, Baltimore, MD 21202

Despite the name and the location just across the street from the
historic Peabody Conservatory, the Midtown Yacht Club is an
unpretentious neighborhood bar with affordable drinks (all beer &
cocktails will be 50 cents off all evening) and a solid Tex-Mex
influenced bar menu. Come early to grab your beer and get settled so
you can enjoy our talk on exciting new partnerships between Wikipedia
and cultural heritage organizations at 6:30 pm.

From the British Library to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis,
cultural heritage organizations are partnering with the Wikipedian
community to share collections of historic photographs, document
public art, celebrate local landmarks, and more. Join us for a short
talk by Sarah Stierch--the new Wikipedian-in-Residence for the
Smithsonian Archives of American Art--starting at 6:30 pm or just drop
by for a beer when you can.

If you work with a cultural heritage organization and you're
interested in developing your own partnerships with Wikipedians and
the Wikimedia community, join us for the first GLAM Wiki Partnerships
in Baltimore meeting hosted by the Walters Museum. We'll start with an
introduction to how GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and
Museums) across the country are partnering with Wikipedia from Wiki DC
organizer Katie Flibert and museum professional Sarah Steirch. This
introduction will be followed by a presentation by Dylan Kinnett on
new online engagement efforts by the Walters Art Museum. We'll then
