Hi Abbad,

did you already encounter this page on the website of the Department of Antiquities? 

http://itp-jo.com/daj/En/inside.php?src=sublinks&SlID=5049&MlID=8 

Every governorate seems to contain a small list of archaeological sites in that region. Also, some data might be collected via http://www.getty.edu/conservation/our_projects/field_projects/jordan/jordan_component3.html . 

The Law of Antiquities ( http://itp-jo.com/daj/En/inside.php?src=sublinks&SlID=5017&MlID=5 ) suggests that the term "Antique Sites"  is what you are looking for. All these should have been announced in the Official Gazette, and therefore matter of public record. The General Department of Antiquities should have a register, as per art.3.3 , so I would naively suggest to call them and ask if they published it already somewhere, and if they can email it to you. As they are together with the Tourism department nowadays, they might be motivated by the argument that it is good for Tourism to have more information on Wikipedia :) 

Out of curiosity, how many volunteers are involved at this point? What would be the language project that you would be using as your basis? (i.e. arwiki, enwiki?)

Please let us know if there is any way we can practically help. 

Best regards,
Lodewijk

Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM in Jordan

Hi all. We will be joining Wiki loves monuments in Jordan this year for the first time. We have made a small team of local Wikipedians who are interested in organization, and we plan to collaborate with a number of local photography groups and societies. There is no monuments list yet, as there is no governmental interest/concern in releasing such things to public, but I  hope we will be able to get one from the ministry of culture. The website is yet to be created :)

Hope everybody a good luck, of course, including us! 

Thank you,
Abbad.
