Dear all

I'm working on the Connected Open Heritage https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage project which aims to improve and create knowledge about the built cultural heritage especially built heritage in danger of several countries around the world. The project is a collaboration between Wikimedia Sweden, Wikimedia Italia, UNESCO and Cultural Heritage without Borders.

The aims of the project are:

• Creating a worldwide list of built heritage registers
• Adding national registers of built heritage to Wikidata (among other

things this will help people to run Wiki Loves Monuments more easily by preparing the list of sites for you).

• Adding images from partner organisations to Commons

We would very much like people from all over the world to be involved, you can take part by:

1. Adding information to countries to the List of Heritage Registers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heritage_registers article. 2. Adding information about potential partner organisations who may have images of built heritage in our shortlist of countries https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage/Countries. 3. Adding information about built cultural heritage in the countries on our shortlist https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage/Countries. 4. Designing our logo

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage/Get_Involved/Logo (open until Sunday) and support existing logo designs (open until the 11th of November).

For reference these are the African countries on our shortlist:

• Mali
• Egypt
• Morocco
• Tanzania
• Zimbabwe
• South Africa
• Kenya

Thanks very much

John
