Dear Subodh,
Thank you for the announcement of this new GLAM partnership initiated by
CIS A2K and West Bengal Wikimedians User Group in partnership. This is a
definite step in the right direction. I am happy to see this partnership
with an NGO based within the area concerned and doing on-ground work there
which is really commendable.
We need viable models for our engagement with other agencies involved in
the heritage presentation of language, culture and literature. We encourage
you to grow this GLAM partnership organically and in a well thought out
manner, for a period of years to come, so that a sizeable and meaningful
contribution can result from this venture over time.
I welcome maximum participation by Wikimedians in conjunction with
suitable experts so that their strengths are complementary and work is
synergetic. We look forward most eagerly to the birth of a nascent
Arunachal Pradesh Wikimedian community seeded by this and other initiatives.
Wishing all the very best for this project and all those participating in
it,
Sincerely, AshLin

Dear Wikimedians,
Greetings for the coming Holi!
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

We welcome your suggestions.
Regards,
Subodh & Bodhisattwa
on behalf of CIS-A2K and West Bengal Wikimedians User Group (respectively)
