+# Small Models for GLAM 🏛️
+
+A community organization for discovering efficient AI models useful for Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums!
+
+## About
+
+This is an experimental community organization aimed at highlighting AI models that work well for cultural heritage institutions. We focus on models that respect the practical constraints many GLAM institutions face - limited compute resources, privacy requirements, and specific domain needs.
+
+## What do we mean by "small"?
+
+Rather than setting strict parameter limits, we use a practical heuristic: **models that run on reasonable hardware**. This typically means:
+
+- Models that work on CPU or a single GPU (not requiring clusters)
+- Models you can run locally without expensive infrastructure
+- Models that prioritize efficiency over absolute performance
+
+## What you'll find here
+
+This community org aims to:
+
+- **Highlight existing models** useful for GLAM work (whether trained specifically for GLAM or not)
+- **Share new models** developed for cultural heritage tasks
+- **Create collections** organized by common GLAM use cases
+
+Examples might include models for OCR, metadata generation, image analysis, or semantic search - as long as they're practically deployable in typical institutional settings.
+
+## Status
+
+This is an early experiment in making AI models more discoverable for the GLAM community. We'll start small and see if there's interest in growing this space!
+
+## Contributing
+
+Since this is a community initiative, contributions and suggestions are welcome! If you know of models that fit our criteria or have ideas for the space, please reach out.
