For Wikipedians in Residence, it varies I believe. I've seen some WiRs edit
articles directly, whereas others, including WMUK's WiRs, don't edit
articles about their institution at all, instead focussing on training,
digitisation, or making sources easily available.

There's a little of that which goes on currently (I mean above-board, not
counting anything that may happen unofficially). The most common case is
that a cultural organization, such as a museum, provides funds for a
"Wikipedian in residence" who is brought in to do a mixture of training
other people, and paying special attention to articles in a particular area
of interest.
I believe Wikipedians in Residence generally avoid actually editing
articles where they have a conflict of interest. They just provide support
to others, that aren't conflicted, to edit them.
