'Members of the union would include staff in collections, development, marketing, bookshop, education and guest services. The museum was founded by Eric and Barbara Carle in 2002.'

One more reason to switch to #Zotero from the litigious, proprietary (and also buggy) #EndNote: its parent company is happily harassing kids who cr4oss borders. https://www.wired.com/story/ice-unaccompanied-minors-fraud-suspects-trss-contract/ #glam
I have a #wikipedia draft I'd like feedback on, particularly from #museum / #gallery / #GLAM types:

I'll be looking to submit it in the next couple of weeks. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

'It's deceptively simple—and outrageously fun. Players view artifacts and then place a pin on a world map to guess where it came from and choose an approximate date on a timeline. '

I've posted the text of my keynote last week for the GLAM Labs Futures conference, 'The future of the past: GLAM innovation and the responsibilities of history': https://updates.timsherratt.org/2026/06/30/the-future-of-the-past.html #GLAM #digitalHumanities
Does AI use mean less web traffic for museums?
There are many ways to approach this, but here I've mapped the ratio of web visits at smk.dk to physical museum visits. If guests get info elsewhere, this ratio should change (i.e. fewer web visits per physical visit). I'm pretty sure that must be happening but currently the effect isn't strong enough to be clearly visible. We'll follow these numbers closely 🔎

How much usable data is sitting in our archives, digitized but not truly accessible?
New vision-language OCR tools are changing what's possible. Our graduate fellow Chloë Farr tested these on 323 pages of archaeological ceramic data—tables that stumped traditional OCR completely.

【國際活動轉發】WiNoDa Knowledge Lab 主辦 《從抽屜到開放網路：自然史博物館典藏與 Wikidata 》網路研討會
你是否正在尋找更聰明的方法，讓你的典藏或生物多樣性資料變得更可見、更具連結性，並真正能被重複利用？
在這場網路研討會中，你將學到如何以 Wikidata 與維基媒體生態系將分散的資料集轉化為開放、可互通的知識網路。
活動中將探索自然科學典藏、研究探勘、標本、人物、地點與媒體如何被編輯成一套共享、符合 #FAIR 原則的知識基礎建設。
透過實際案例，你會了解如何在 Wikidata 中建模典藏物件與探勘資料、如何將它們連結到全球資源，並利用 Wikimedia Commons 的開放授權媒體使其更加豐富。
無論你在博物館、生物多樣性研究、資料管理，或是數位人文領域工作，這場研討會將以實際的「維基媒體解決方案」來展示如何透過這些開放平台，將館藏轉為全球實際可用的資料。
