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 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Research_Institute_of_World%27s_Ancient_Traditions and GLAM project page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:RIWATCH .
We welcome your suggestions.
