Yes I noticed that, and I think there is an opportunity here to enrich all
of those Wikipedia articles (or at least the Wikidata items corresponding
to those articles).
Of course it is easiest to just do your download and cleanup later, but it
would be nice if you could somehow link these items during upload. So if
you know beforehand some of the items, why not add the Wikidata item to the
upload data? Of course if this involves way too much work you could hold a
Wikidatathon later to do this by hand. There is no limit to the number of
files that link to Wikidata items, so several files that are details of the
same object could all have the same Wikidata item in the Wikidata field.

Hi Jane,
Apologies to our international readers − I meant that email to the French
GLAM mailing list − but in a way I’m glad of my mistake :)

That looks nice! Is that all the metadata they
have though? It would be
nice to know for example the title of the object in other languages (if
available), and the original source of these objects before they came into
the archives, or at least the date of acquisition.
Indeed, but as far as I know, unfortunately not :-( Some of the documents
have an entry on the Archim database (like [1]) and not much more
information is available there. :-(
Since I’m here, and with so many GLAM-dataists in the room : I have been
thinking about Wikidata − Commons reminds me on every file that this an «
Artwork without Wikidata item » :) I suppose it makes sense to have
WIkidata items about these physical objects conserved at the Archives
(correct me if I’m wrong)
Some of them are interesting as they are the physical counterpart to an
abstract − for example, [2] is the original document for the 1881 French
Law on the Freedom of the Press, for which there are Wikipedia articles and
a Wikidata item [3]. Any suggestions on how to reconcile both?
