I am pleased to share with you the news that I shall be Wikipedian in Residence with Staffordshire Archive & Heritage Service, here in the English Midlands, from mid-November (part-time).
This is a pilot project. I will be working with number of Staffordshire museums, to increase staff awareness of Wikipedia, train them to edit, and make recommendations for future public engagement (e.g. editathons), as well as planning a larger project to follow.
I shall create a Wikipedia project page once I am in post.
Naturally, I hope that the use of QRpedia, and the release of some media under an open licence, will feature.
I hope you share my pleasure in looking forward to this promising project.
What wonderful news! Best of luck with your new residency. :)
Best, Shani. * Project Ben-Yehuda http://www.benyehuda.org * GLAM-Wiki Projects in Israelhttp://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%95%D7%A7:%D7%92%D7%9C%D7%90%D7%9D
