Hi Margaret
It would have been much more considerate to have asked this off the
list, but since its here. I did a bit of research on the Museum and went
to find a connection with the local community who can provide the in person
assistance. The Museum is in a beautiful spot between Toronto and Montreal
near Kingston on the train line between the two. Thermatic organisations
provide wonderful details and can address specific needs, but in the
initial phase sitting down with someone in person who has the same cultural
background and understands any local nuances is invaluable.
Like Australia, Canada has a colonial past, parts of which are as
destructive as ours, yet they have done more to reconcile that past than
Australia has. Working with this history requires a deeper insight and
understanding of that past; it's not something you can immediately get from
or explain to people in other countries. Unfortunately there is a very
strong no censorship, take for example Yagan and the demand that his
severed head be the infobox image because it's an iconic image of the
painter yet it is even mentioned in the painters article.
I also look at Wikimedia Canada reporting and they are active along with
the members of their board. You will see they are working with Archives of
Ontario on exactly the same type of project

Rather than just blindly send out links I took the time to consider what I
saw as a best fit, where they will be able make lasting connections to the
community and get great personal support.

Hi Gnangarra
Hoping that you might explain why you would choose Wikimedia Canada
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada>
For me it looks less focussed than some of the other suggestions

Hello everyone,
We are looking to join the GLAM Wiki community and would love to set up
a page to share some of our archival and eventually curatorial
collections. We are looking for information on how to partner with Wiki to
get a page setup.
There is a lot of information about this. I could recommend:
- Content Partnerships Hub,
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub
- and GLAM-Wiki project, with many sitelkinks like:
