Hello everyone,
Hope you're all safe and sound.
I'm wondering if anyone here is working on crowdsourcing?
I'm doing research on how audience participation in crowdsourcing (and
citizen science projects) affects notions of (institutional) expertise and
authority.
I'd like to discuss this with you if you have similar interests.
Thanks,
Aya Sabry

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] GLAM Partnership and Wikimedian in Residence program
with RIWATCH, Arunachal Pradesh by CIS-A2K
To: <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
Greetings of the day!
CIS-A2K is glad to share this update with you. We have started developing
partnerships with various institutions in the North East region of India
since 2019. We conceptualised the GLAM project with an organization
named *Research
Institute of World's Ancient Traditions, Cultures and Heritage* (RIWATCH),
a non-profit research and community based organisation in Arunachal Pradesh
during the year 2020 and proposed it in our 2020-21 plan. But due to the
pandemic, the process was delayed. We have launched a GLAM-Wiki project
with RIWATCH from March 2022 in collaboration with the West Bengal
Wikimedians User Group, which will be helping in coordination and execution
of this project. A Wikimedian in Residence has been assigned at RIWATCH to
document, organize and upload the data and content of the rich collection
of the institute focusing on the oral traditions, language and culture of
different tribes in Arunachal Pradesh. The orientation and planning
meetings were conducted with RIWATCH members and a local tribal
organisation named Idu Mishmi Cultural & Literary Society to develop the
GLAM project. After the training of WiR, the GLAM work on Wikimedia Commons
has already been started. The details can be seen here - Commons category

and GLAM project page <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:RIWATCH>
.
We welcome your suggestions.
Regards,
Subodh & Bodhisattwa
on behalf of CIS-A2K and West Bengal Wikimedians User Group (respectively)

Dear all,
for those of you who understand German, I would like to draw your
attention to this closing event of a project that took place in Hesse
state during the last year. More than ten cultural heritage institutions
from different domains (libraries, archives, museums, i.e. all GLAM
areas) worked together and published a common open access policy, in
December last year.
On 24 March 2022 from 10:00 to 12:00 am (CET), we will look back and
describe the journey towards the adoption of the policy document. And we
are going to discuss what it means in practice for the different
institutions to follow the self-commitment declared by the policy. You
will find more information and the possibility to register on

Hello everyone,
Yesterday someone asked me to be unsubscribed from the list. As I couldn't
find her/his email on the list of subscribers, I accidentally hit the wrong
button on the software that manages all the lists (mailman) and
unsubscribed everyone from the open-glam list. This was, of course, an
accident, as explained here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302816
The issue is now solved thanks to the speedy response of Amir & Jcrespo,
who I'm really thankful for solving this issue in such a timely manner.
Last, this list is moderated because accidents tend to happen more often
than we realize, such as people responding to the whole list when they
intended to reply to the sender only. And since the unsubscription was a
thing I was expecting to be solved promptly (as it fortunately was), that's
the reason why I rejected all the incoming emails saying "please subscribe"
or "why I have been unsubscribed from the list".
My sincere apologies to everyone who felt this was a personal issue and
again this won't happen in the future.
Thanks again,
scann

*VIRTUAL PANEL*
*Preservation of digitised and born-digital collections: interconnections,
policies and workflows*
*Thursday 24 March, 09:30 EDT | 13:30 GMT | 14:30 CET*
We invite you to join us for a virtual panel on the topic of ‘Preservation
of Digitised and Born-Digital Collections: Interconnections, Policies and
Workflows’. Organised in collaboration with the IIPC and OPF, this online
event will be held on Thursday 24th March at 09:30 EDT | 13:30 GMT | 14:30
CET.
In this virtual panel, experts from the British Library, Bibliothèque
nationale de France and Koninklijke Bibliotheek will explore this complex
topic at three levels. Firstly, organisationally, where do preservation,
digitisation, and web and social media archiving ‘fit’ in your
organisation? Secondly, which policies cover preservation, digitisation,
and web and social media archiving? Thirdly, in what areas do
interconnections between digitisation experts and born-digital curators and
preservation teams already exist or would be beneficial?
Learn more and register on our event page

We look forward to seeing you there!
