Instameet at the USA National Archives

This is a lovely story in so many ways. It is a lovely use of Storify, it is great to hear that the USA National Archives ran an Instameet, and that is was so successful (judging from the great photographs). It is very much about the building architecture, but that is fine.

Have a look at this photograph. (the embed option kept timing out, hence the link not the embed).

You can read about other instameet events like:

• Boston drinkingaboutmuseums
• at a Trash museum
• at Vancouver
• street photography
• Crocker Art Museum

This also seems to tie in with the ideas of  Invasioni Digitali / Digital Invasions – Co-Creation of Cultural Value (from #mwf2014).  Also see #invasionidigitali and on Pinterest.

There are other instameet options like:

• Logan City Council nature walk
• Adelaide City Council
• ABC Open
• Atherton Tablelands
• San Francisco public library

This seems a great way of engaging with the community and sharing the collections and stories as well as seeing how your admirers see your collections and spaces.
