Wikimedia UK is pleased to announce the co-option of Nancy Bell to the
board for a two year term. Nancy has been appointed for her extensive
skills, experience and contacts, particularly in the national and
international cultural heritage sectors.
Nancy is currently Head of Collection Care at The National Archives, in
which role she is responsible for the preservation of one of the largest
and most significant sources of information in the world dating from
Domesday Book to recent digital records. She has established an
internationally recognised heritage science research programme in
collaboration with the higher education sector and industry, and has
established a programme to work closely with students and researchers to
disseminate their work further as wiki editors.
Nancy comments "There are huge opportunities to extend the reach of
volunteers in new communities to create an even more vibrant Wikimedia
UK. I am committed to open and accessible information as a guiding
principle and very much welcome the opportunity to promote this mission
widely".
Please join us in welcoming Nancy to the board.
Best regards
Michael
