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

Tue Jun 3 13:41:58 UTC 2014

And I forgot to add: the list of Projects on OpenGLAM using or providing
open cultural data (http://openglam.org/projects/) could also use an
update, it would be great if someone is willing to help out with this as
well!
