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!
