[GLAM] Immoveable heritage = real estate?

[Peter Ekman]

I'll suggest to Nemo and Axel that "Immovable cultural heritage"
refers to "real property" or "real estate", i.e. land and buildings.
If so, this might be handled well via Wiki Loves Monuments.

I do know of one GLAM who has such a collection. The Philadelphia Art
Museum owns about a dozen historical buildings in Philadelphia and
about half of them are open to the public. Most of them are in
Fairmount Park and funding to maintain the buildings might go through
either institution, or even the city of Philadelphia itself.

Hi GLAM friends,
(Trying again as the first ping about this didn’t result in any specific
collections or GLAMs.)

Connected Open Heritage[1] keeps moving on, and have so far worked with the
WLM database and the upcoming migration to Wikidata, some batch uploads to
Commons and preparations for visiting governments and authorities.

One thing we still need some help with is to get in touch with GLAMs who
has digitized collections of photos, videos, paintings or drawings, or
possibly scanned books (such as travel diaries) of immovable heritage
sites[2] that could be relevant to the project. It can be either old
connections that you are already in touch with or new GLAMs that you want
to work with.

As we have both work time and developer skills in this project we are happy
to help with both contacting, coordinating and do the technical part
required to get a good cooperation going, as long as you give us some
starting points and places to look.[3] If you already have a good
relationship with a relevant GLAM we can help only with the parts you ask
for, and you can still be the primary contact for the partnership.
Suggestions can either be added to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage/Partners#Suggestions
or sent as an answer here.

Looking forward to working together with you!

Do submarines and trains qualify as immovable? They tend not to be moved
too much.
