Dear all, 

Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS) is the National Development Body for the museums and galleries sector in Scotland. They are seeking applications for a Wikimedian in Residence from dedicated individuals with excellent presentation and digital skills to work with Glasgow Museums for a 4 month secondment followed by 8 months at the MGS office in Edinburgh. The post will run for 12 months starting in early January 2015.

The project will support museums and galleries to improve their skills in creating online content and open data projects from the digital curation of their collections. This is a unique opportunity to help enrich Wikipedia and its sister projects and share with the world the expert knowledge from Scottish museums and galleries and to engage with curators, members of the public and researchers to encourage contributions to the development of Wikipedia articles.

MGS works with Scotland’s museums and galleries to create ambitious, dynamic and sustainable enterprises: connecting people, places and collections; inspiring, delighting and creating public value.

This post is jointly funded by Wikimedia UK and Museums Galleries Scotland.
