Thanks, Daria, for this update!
I'm curious to see how this is concretely going to be implemented on Commons in case
of public domain works:
- Two license templates on the respective Commons page? - One for the public domain
work and another one for the faithful reproduction, mentioning that the digital image may
be protected by copyright if you're sitting in the UK?
- CC-by referring to the original creator and/or CC-by referring to the scanner
(whoever that may be, no pun intended)?
Please keep us posted!

Subject: Re: [GLAM] Wellcome Trust CC-BY images
Hi All,
Just so you are up to date on this collaboration. The in person meeting with the Trust
last week has been focused on explaining and working out ways in which the upload onto
Commons can be done. We were explaining upload tools and tools that can be used to measure
the usage of images on Wikimedia projects.
The action from that was for John Cummings to coordinate with Fae (who has very kindly
offered to help us) regarding the upload, possibly starting with a pilot set of images.
Wellcome's developers are based in London and should be available to assist with some
technical considerations - the images' metadata sits in several databases and some
work needs to be done to get it all into one place for the upload.
Another consideration is that the set contains some orphan works which I suppose will have
to be weeded out.
The most significant aspect is of course the public domain vs CC-By licence. John can
correct me here, but the feeling was that Wellcome Trust is committed to keeping the CC-By
on these images and felt this is the most appropriate licence for the whole set (which
includes images of various 'initial licence' statuses).
Regards,
Daria

Good news about the Wellcome Library images. I spoke with Catherine Draycott this morning
by phone and she indicated that the CC-BY licensing was the first step in a process that
includes figuring out how to get their content into the Commons so that it can be used on
Wikipedia. She and a colleague have a meeting on Feb 3 with John Cummings (Wikipedia in
Residence at the Natural History Museum, London) and Daria Cybulska (WIkimediaUK) to
discuss this, and also to plan a possible edit-a-thon on Feb 26th.
I made sure to mention the GLAMToolSet work, which should (in theory) make it a lot easier
for GLAM organizations to bulk upload media and associated metadata. I was surprised to
learn this is already deployed to
commons.mediawiki.org<http://commons.mediawiki.org> but your account needs to be
enabled for you to see it. I'm not entirely sure if it has been used very much yet
though.
So, rather than confuse things further by having starting another channel of communication
I will bow out and let what Daria and John are doing take its course.

Yes, I saw that, but thought perhaps they would be
interested. I wanted to at least float the idea.

Does that sound like a reasonable way to proceed? If anyone else would like to be on the
call let me know. If there is a Commons veteran who has experience with bulk uploading and
is willing to work with the Wellcome Trust in a constructive way I'm willing to just
tag along on the call and let them take the reigns as it were.

That post while funded by the Wellcome Trust, is with Cancer Research UK, and targetted
