Hi all,

I'm excited to share this blog post [1] about the first larger project that the Helpdesk of the Content Partnerships Hub initiative has carried out, in close collaboration with Netha Hussain:

In this project, 3,000 medical illustrations from the laboratory Smart Servier have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The blog post explains how you can make use of the images.

Netha explains that the value of these illustrations is that they can help illustrate complex biological processes and concepts in a better way, especially where actual photographs would be hard/impossible to create (such as things happening on the molecular level), where actual photographs would be disturbing or offensive (genital organs or obesity, e.g.), of where simple representations are preferred rather than complex diagrams/photos, such as on Simple Wikipedia or Wiktionary. 

If you want to help add these images to Wikipedia pages, the illustrations have been added to galleries, which makes them easier to browse. You can also help improve the metadata of the images, to add more structured data! All files in the category that have a depict statement can be accessed at this link: https://w.wiki/7eZ4 And all files in the category without a depict statement can be found at this link: https://w.wiki/7eY$

Best,
