GLAM is an acronym for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. It also incorporates other cultural institutions such as theaters, zoos, botanical gardens, public broadcasters etc. This project seeks to combine the expertise of museums with the reach of Wikipedia. Wikipedia gets 400 million unique visitors per month and in April the Wikipedia mobile site reached the milestone of 2 billion monthly page views – one of the goals for the 2011/12 WMF annual plan.
