[Wikimediaindia-l] Small GLAM activity carried out personally.

Hello everyone,

While on vacations at my hometown Jamnagar, I thought of contributing
something to Commons, thus I decided to start with Archaeological Museum
Jamnagar. The Museum is superb with different variety of exhibits of
Jamnagar like stone excavations, rifles, canons, different pictures to
show. Thus I decided to capture those and put on commons, I am still in
midst of processing many more images and upload them, meanwhile I have
created a Gallery<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lakhota_Museum_Jamnagar> on
commons. Please do have a look at it and give your valuable
suggestions/thoughts.
I was charged Rs 100/- by the Museum authority and also have the receipt of
it, thus they allow to take photographs.
Also one interesting thing was going on in Museum, there was one other
professional photographer taking close up shots with proper background and
lighting of each and every artifact with the help of few other people of
museum, on inquiring it, I came to know that Government has asked to
digitize the whole museum, and thus he got one of the contracts to
photograph them, but sadly all of them will be copyrighted.

Once again the link to my gallery is
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lakhota_Museum_Jamnagar.

Hoping to hear from all of you.
