GLAMs as Engines for Innovation in Research, Teaching and Engagement

Leveraging Cultural Resources through Intra-Institutional Collaboration:

Thanks to the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the University of Miami Libraries and Lowe Art Museum "UMLLAM" have embarked on a four-year collaborative project designed to encourage faculty and student engagement with the University's collections while also increasing object-based outreach and educational opportunities for our many constituencies. This multi-faceted undertaking, which grew out of a summit and resulting White Paper (both of which were spearheaded by the University of Miami), features two new faculty fellowships and a new fund to incentivize UM faculty to incorporate the University's cultural assets into their curricula.

Presented at the third GLAM Summit sponsored by Libraries and Archives Canada in Montreal on May 13, 2019.
