It would be great if interested editors can examine the National Museum website (under the collection menu) and suggest articles that could be enhanced or created - please add entries to 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NM

The activities at the museum would include getting those interested acquainted with Open licensing, Wikipedia editing, finding references at their library and researching for articles. Wikipedians who are not on site can request media, collaborate on articles and seek references (volunteers at the site will try and look up references in the museum library and hopefully be able to send photos of relevant pages and reference details for remote editors wishing to join in to research and improve articles).

Although the medium of instruction at this workshop will be in English, it would be particularly fruitful if those with an added Indian language competency to join the event. There would be a mix of presentations followed by hands-on sessions, possibly with groups working on chosen articles.

best wishes

Dear Sowmyan,

Glad to hear this is coming along!  Could you share a little more about the planned partnership?  What activities would take place, on-site and on-wiki?

Thanks,

Wikimedia India Chapter will be organizing a GLAM pilot at the National Museum, New Delhi. We are looking forward to a few experienced editors living in New Delhi to participate in this program. 

We have put together a team that has undertaken to provide the training and guidance. 

We will have some volunteers and students from the Museum itself. They bring the domain knowledge related to the artefacts, but require training in Editing. We now need experienced Wikimedians from New Delhi who can do contribute, and have enthusiasm from GLAM work to participate. The benefit may be gaining insight into GLAM projects in general and the National Museum in particular. 

The program may be over a week duration some time between last week of Dec 2013 and 1st week of Jan 2014

Kindly write to the Chapter@wikimedia.in. 

Regards,
Sowmyan
