'The Outpost 51 Alien Museum, located in Boulder City, is packed with wild alien recreations and fascinating events linked to extraterrestrials.

The owner, Tom Devlin, is a special effects artist and creates and builds the displays.

One display includes a deep dive into the Roswell Incident, complete with life-size replicas of the aliens some believe crash landed there in 1947.'

In other news, I used the Public Record Office Victoria's *open* API to add more than 6 million records about people to the GLAM Name Index Search (in total there's more than 13 million from 10 #GLAM organisations). There's some notes here: updates.timsherratt.org/2025/0 #archives #familyHistory

updates.timsherratt.org · More than 6 million rows of data from Public Record Office Victoria added to the GLAM Name Index SearchThe GLAM Name Index Search now includes more than 6 million rows of data from the Public Record Office Victoria, downloaded using their public API. The GLAM Name Index Search brings together records that include the names of people from 10 Australian GLAM organisations. With a single search, you can find information about individuals across millions of rows of data. Previous versions of the GLAM Name Index Search included a few datasets from the Public Record Office Victoria that had been shared through government open data portals.

'One of America's first examples of public housing are the Jane Adams Homes in Chicago, built in 1938 and named for the trailblazing reformer. Fast forward to now, and there are some 1 million public housing units in the U.S., and the Adams Homes are getting a second act as a museum dedicated to telling the story of public housing. '

Bridget Jennings is the Senior Cataloguing Specialist at Wellington City Libraries, she said they wanted to create a structure for the library's collections based on how knowledge is organised in te ao Māori."
