The GLAM–Wiki initiative (galleries, libraries, archives, museums with Wikipedia) helps cultural institutions share their resources with the world through high-impact collaboration alongside experienced Wikipedia editors.

In 2010, Liam Wyatt served as the first Wikipedian in Residence at the British Museum. His one-month residency developed the basis for the international GLAM–Wiki initiative by bringing together curators and local Wikipedians to edit and add content about iconic British Museum objects such as the Rosetta

Stone and the Hoxne Hoard.

The inaugural, weeklong event ran from 15–23 January 2016, and employed the hashtag #1lib1ref on various social media platforms.
