[OpenGLAM] Fwd: Smithsonian data available for National Day of Civic Hacking!

Tue Jun 3 13:39:54 UTC 2014

Hi both,

Definitely a good idea to update the information and add new open

I also like the idea of having it in another easier-to-read format, as the
lists are becoming quite long and less easy to use.

Best, Lieke
