Hi all , 

Thank you so much for this posting. I'm also the first ever WiR in the South African Chapter [[WikimediaZA]] and this information is so much helpful to me especially when it comes to reporting and what roles i can play to improve my work with the host institution. This is my 3rd week working with the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation. I'm working on a 4 months contract and though i try by all means to digitize as much documents and pictures as i can however I don't see myself finishing all the work after the 4 months because with each file I open there is a lot of untapped history most of which is not even on the internet otherwise to cut a long story short , one of the hurdles that I've faced is the licensing issue. The Johannesburg Heritage Foundation have chosen to release their material into commons under this license Creative Commons — Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International — CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 which according to my understanding it's not free. I'm interested in knowing under which license are the institutions you've been working with releasing their material under ?

Kind regards 
Bobby Shabangu

The report states:

    'As a chapter then we have run the Wikimedian
    in Residence programme since May 2012, when
    Andrew Gray started his residency at the British
    Library.'

As pointed out previously, this was not the first residency run by the
chapter. The first was at ARKive, in 2011.
