Re: [African Wikimedians] [Wikimedia-GH] Big Thanks to Wikimedia Netherlands for Historic Images

So I went to the Ghana Wikiproject today and noticed a message.1 tl;dr: The Wikimedia Netherlands has donated some 2,000 historic images, going back as far as almost a century related to Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.2 Specifically to Ghana, I doubt those images (very old) could be found anywhere, such as this 1953 image of Fort Amsterdam. <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Fort_Kormantin#/media/File:Fort_Amsterdam,_schietgat_bastion_-_20652263_-_RCE.jpg> 3 I am impressed and really thankful for such a generous donation to Wikimedia Commons relating to Ghana's history. Now I guess it's about time we put those images to use! I hope more are shared as and when they become available. Kudos, WMNL. Checkout the category to find images about your country too. I've seen Guinea Bissau in there somewhere. 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Gha na#Media_upload_of_historical_photographs_of_Ghana 2 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Temminck_Groll_Collection 3 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Fort_Kormantin #/media/File:Fort_Amsterdam,_schietgat_bastion_-_20652263_-_RCE.jpg _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-GH mailing list Wikimedia-GH(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-gh
