Wikimedian in Residence, National Library of Scotland
by Andrew Gray 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi all, Just as my work at the British Library is coming to an end, I'm delighted to be able to tell people about a new Wikimedian in Residence post at the National Library of Scotland - I've helped work to set this up, and I think there's a real potential for doing amazing things here. The NLS is a great institution, with some really innovative and forward-thinking work, and as well as the obvious strengths in Scottish history and culture they have major map collections and one of the most interesting publishing archives in the UK. Lots of scope for interesting projects here. It's full-time, for four months, though this may possibly be negotiable to a longer period at part time - it's worth asking. The job is paid and formally employed by the Library, funded jointly by the Library and by Wikimedia UK. http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/04/1533/ has further details and a link to the NLS recruitment site. Please circulate this widely! Thanks, -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk

Trying to find an editor
by Richard Symonds 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

All, This may be a bit of a long shot, but I'm trying to find an editor called Grant Thompson. We have a letter for him in the office (it's nothing bad, but it appears an institution he's written to has replied to us instead of him). Does anyone know anyone by this name? If so, please get in touch with me privately! Richard Symonds Wikimedia UK 0207 065 0992 Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

swiss federal archives searches wikipedian in residence, material of 1st world war
by rupert THURNER 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

fyi, crossposted from wikimedia-l swiss federal archives searches wikipedian in residence, material of 1st world war should be published in a first step. deadline: 2013-05-04. Bern, 12.04.2013 - The Swiss Federal Archives and Wikimedia CH are joining forces to review source materials from the Federal Archives and publish them online. To this end, the post of a “Wikipedian in Residence” is now being advertised via Wikimedia. The first joint project will provide access to a photographic collection on the First World War. 2013 sees the start of a new collaboration between the Swiss Federal Archives and Wikimedia – two organisations committed to free access to knowledge. With a view to publishing freely usable, “public domain” source materials from the Federal Archives holdings online via Wikimedia – such as Wikipedia, Wikisource and Wikiversity – a “Wikipedian in Residence” will be working in the Federal Archives over the next few months. Wikimedia has been gathering experience with the “Wikipedian in Residence” concept internationally since 2010, at institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the British Library in London and the US National Archives near Washington. The Federal Archives partnership is the first collaboration with a GLAM (*Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums*) institution in Switzerland. The initial goal is to make more than 5,000 digitised photographs from a collection on the First World War searchable and freely accessible via Wikimedia by autumn 2013, providing researchers with a fascinating, well catalogued and freely accessible body of materials just in time for the centenary of the war’s outbreak in 1914. As a guest of the Federal Archives, the Wikipedian in Residence will promote entries in the online encyclopaedia that relate to the Federal Archives and their holdings, and publish material under open-content licences. Links between the Federal Archives and the Wikipedia community will also be expanded. The Federal Archives and Wikimedia CH will report on the collaboration and its results at regular intervals.
