Hi all.
I am very pleased to present you the first GLAM collaboration started by
Wikimedia Spain.
In September we first contacted the press department of the Science Museum
of Valladolid, one of the most important museums in the Spanish region of
Castile and León. We did so because this museum was uploading materials to
Wikimedia Commons and starting articles on the Spanish Wikipedia, so we
assumed that they might be receptive to further cooperation... and here we
are!
After some meetings in October and November now we can see the first steps
made by this GLAM cooperation.
The Science Museum has included QRpedia codes in the exhibitions related
with some scientists like Louis Pasteur, Dmitri Mendeleev or Rosalind
Franklin. They have called this feature "Stars of the science", and the
museum sees QRpedia codes as an unique opportunity to approach the ~2600
foreign visitors per year they have.
Furthermore, we have planned activities for the first months of 2013 like a
Wikipedia workshop and an Edit-a-thon, but we will keep you posted about
this in the coming months!
I attach you some pictures of the final result and we will thank you any
help with the translation of the article about the museum :-) (

PD: any suggestions about how to keep this posted on the Outreach wiki??
Best,
--
