 * Abstract: Through our editing work on the various state highways in the United States (w:WP:USRD), we've had to make contact with various state departments of transportation (DOTs). Although these departments are not the usual focus for GLAM work, there is some similarities. I'd like to share some of my experiences in dealing with a few state DOTs in terms of image donations and research work.
