Some of the GLAMs my laboratory helps don't even know how rich their collections are. For instance, cataloging all items provides us with so much metadata — they think of this as a bureaucratic process, we see that as a way to integrate collections and include Brazil in many initiatives such as #Wikidata.

It's difficult to escape from those "Brazil doesn't fund research properly and I'm disappointed in my country" arguments because honestly, they are completely true.
