I asked this a while ago and got no nibbles but let’s try again: I’m a librarian and archivist who will be visiting Iceland and Ireland in mid-October and I would LOVE to meet some library/archives/museum people/get some GLAM recommendations while I’m traveling. Please boost, thank you 💚💚💚💚

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us I bet if you put some hashtags in there you might get more traction.

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us Try posting with the hashtag #MastoDaoine for visibility to Irish folks on here (daoine means people in Irish)

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us If you want better pickup from people who don't follow you, you may have more success by adding # tags like #Iceland #Ireland and #librarians. You can even edit your post to add a few # s in

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us I'd recommend Cécile Chemin, Military Archives in Ireland. That team has been doing wonderful historical research work. She's currently mainly on twitter, recently bluesky though. I can get you the main addresses if you wish.

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin is a gem, and visit to the National Library would be worth your while. It's right next door to the National Museum on Kildare St, so there's a morning sorted!

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us Hi, I work for the city library of Reykjavík. Are you looking for something specific or just interesting stuff in general?

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us I'm so long out of working in libraries that I had to look up the GLAM acronym. Are you traveling around Ireland or just visiting Dublin (or indeed not visiting Dublin at all)?

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us You might check out the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies @DIAS_Dublin@mastodon.dias.ie and their Celtic Studies library (https://www.dias.ie/celt/celt-library/) and Theoretical Physics library (https://www.dias.ie/stp/stp-library/). Lots of fascinating materials and projects and research going on there.

    @TeamMidwest@glammr.us edit this to include #MastoDaoine - it's the tag we use for the Irish community on here (daoine = people in Gaeilge). I'll give it a quote boost link thing too for you. Hope you enjoy your visit here! Bring rainproof clothes and a hat (umbrellas come here to die due to our wind and rain) 😁
