What is glam-rss-feeds?

GLAM-RSS-feeds is a hand-curated list of RSS feeds from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. RSS is a web format that lets people or software subscribe to updates from a website and receive new content automatically, without needing to visit each site directly. This collection brings together 399 such feeds from cultural heritage institutions around the world, each one checked by a human to confirm it actually works. The feeds are stored in a single CSV file, which is a plain text spreadsheet that any spreadsheet program, database, or scripting language can read without special software. Each row covers one institution's feed and includes the feed URL, a title, a short description, the institution's main website address, the language the feed is in, the date of its most recent item, and a count of how many items the feed contains. According to the README, the large majority of feeds had new items published this year, with only a couple of dozen last updated in 2025. The author notes that more feeds will be added over time and treats the current 399 as a starting point rather than a complete list. This kind of resource is useful for researchers, journalists, developers, or librarians who want to track news and announcements from cultural institutions in bulk, build news aggregators, monitor what museums and archives are publishing, or pull content into data analysis pipelines. Instead of hunting down individual RSS addresses one by one, you get a ready-to-use, human-verified starting set.
