Dear All,
I've just been informed that the American Historical Association
(AHA) has begun their own wiki: "Archives Wiki"
http://archiveswiki.historians.org/index.php/Main_Page
It is a media-wiki distribution and is intended to be a clearing
house of information for historians about the various archives that
professional historians use around the world - the opening hours, the
quirky cataloging, the important collections etc etc.
The announcement was made in the association's fortnightly newsletter
here:
http://www.historians.org/members/emails/2008/September/
FortnightlyNews1.cfm#wiki
I encourage anyone who is a historian or uses archives in general to
log in there and help out. This could be a very useful resource in
its own right but also, if it works, will help break down the
barriers to having more professional academics using and helping out
on wikimedia projects.
All the best,
-Liam Wyatt
