Hello all,
Just wanted to update you - I've recently completed a piece of work with the Groam
House Museum in Rosemarkie in Scotland. Their George Bain collection is a Recognised
Collection of National Significance to Scotland, and I was very happy indeed to train a
cross section of staff and board to edit Wiki, as well as use the new Pattypan small-GLAM
uploader to upload a test batch of images from their collection.
If you'd like to take a look, the images are here:

Loving the Pattypan uploader - can really see how this tool will, if we target it
correctly and used in partnership with the visual editor, have the potential to seriously
increase smaller GLAM's engagement. Thanks to all involved!
Best,
Sara Thomas
