Hi Bob,
I don't know of anyone in Minneapolis who has served as WiR at the
Walker. I do have some contacts at the Minneapolis Historical Society
who are going to be doing an event soon, that I'm supporting from afar.
I can introduce you to them - they are staff members though. Lori has
some contacts for local WIkipedians, I believe.
If all else fails, and grant/funding can be secured I'm sure someone
could be flown there for the event.

Hi folks,
Is there someone who is currently serving as Wikipedian-in-Residence
at the Walker Arts Center? Or someone else in Minneapolis - or even
Chicago? Or is there a previous WiR who could be in Minneapolis
during June 2013?
Merrilee Profitt (of OCLC) and I would like to propose a session about
Wikipedia/Wikimedia/GLAM, etc. at the forthcoming RBMS preconference
(Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the American Library
Association) which meets in Minneapolis in June 2013. It would be
nice to have a person who is actually participating in a project or
has done so in the past.
Let me know! Thanks!
