Easier to find archive Material
by Barbara Fischer 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

dear list readers, aggregators are doing such a good job, that it is geting hard to find a thing for the normal user. This is the reason why the German aggregator for EUROPEANA, die Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek <https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/?lang=en>, has now launched a specify platform only for archives in Germany. <https://www.archivportal-d.de/info/about/> The new archive has just launched its web presence but is far from portraying completely the archives in Germany. But a start is done. Referring to licences the collection are so divers as nature is. Hopefully this will change with in the future to make reuse easier. But right now You are invited to discover Free content within over 5 million entries. best regards Barbara Fischer Kuratorin für Kulturpartnerschaften Jeweils persönlich von Montag bis Donnerstag für Sie erreichbar Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | NEU: Tempelhofer Ufer 23-24 | 10963 Berlin Tel.

GLAM Wiki repository on outreach
by Iolanda Pensa 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

dear all I have been working a little on a GLAM Wiki repository [1] I have noticed that it is quite complicated to browse what is going on and there is documentation a bit everywhere - mainly on outreach, wikipedia (in many languages) and wikimedia commons (you find links to relevant categories in the first session of the page [2] as a reference to including more institutions). I have started from the list of projects on Wikipedia in English [3] but there is so much more to add using the information on Wikimedia Commons. please have a look and see if you can add documentation. it is indeed not a very comfortable interface. I wonder if it would be possible to use Wikidata for such a repository. the interesting thing would be to have templates we can add to the different projects when talking about the same institution in the project pages and in the case studies, and to have data we can compare. that would be great but I don’t know how to do it. regards iolanda/iopensa [1] https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Repository [2] https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Repository#Relevant_categories_and… [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Projects

The biggest editathon ever
by Santiago Navarro Sanz 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hello! As you know, Wikimedia Spain will run an editathon next Saturday at National Library. We have at this moment more than 100 people registred for it, and we have to add wikipedians as volonteers and organization. The question is, Do you know which was the biggest editathon ever? Biggest related to people attending it, editing at the same place and the same time. I know that the largest editathon in time was the 35 hours editathon organized by Amical, and this Saturday Wikimedia Mexico will run a new one of 50 hours. Thanks Santi Navarro

Thank you Richard. I didn't know this one. Yes, I talk about an editathon with people in the room and only one place. Enviado de Samsung Mobile -------- Mensaje original -------- De: Richard Nevell <richard.nevell(a)wikimedia.org.uk> Fecha: Para: "Wikimedia & GLAM collaboration [Public]" <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Asunto: Re: [GLAM] The biggest editathon ever My guess is that this editathon from earlier this year may be the biggest with about 230 people. Most of them participated remotely, so if you want to know the biggest editathon with people all in one room that'll be something different.
