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<https://en.wikipedia.org…
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,
Asaf

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(a)wikimedia.in.
Regards,
Sowmyan
