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 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.

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

Hello all,
This is a follow-up mail regarding the GLAM partnership with RIWATCH. There are a few updates.
1) CIS-A2K has sent a scanner to RIWATCH which is being used to scan the around 330 volumes of Tibetan Buddhist canons collected in the museum with around 150,000 pages. The first volume of Tengyur is uploaded as of now. https://w.wiki/5CsJ 2) As the internet speed is extremely slow in the institute due to its remote location, the Wikimedian-in-residence is facing troubles with the upload process. So, she is instructed to focus only on scanning for now. 3) As coordinator partner of the project, I visited the institute this week again on behalf of the user group to collect all the digital files in RIWATCH collection to upload them from my home using faster internet than the institute. This includes photographs, audios and videos depicting cultures of different indigenous people of Arunachal Pradesh. One such file is here - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cultural_heritage_of_Adis_-_document...

This is a great collaboration. We are heartened by the initial success of the project in heritage saving and output. I look forward to this project bearing much more fruit and setting a standard for GLAM projects in India. I hope that this encourages many other such projects in future. I also hope that this project lays the seeds for a nascent Arunachal Pradesh Wikimedians group.
Congratulations to the WMUG and CIS-A2K for this work.
