As a chapter we have run the Wikimedian in Residence (WIR) programme

May 2012, when Andrew Gray started his residency at the British Library.
You've missed out a couple of years of history there - British Museum, Derby, ARKive...
It's worth noting that the British Library WIR programme was set up and negotiated by myself as a volunteer. It took no Chapter or WMF funding, hardly any staff support, and to date had the highest remuneration package all WIR projects that I am aware of, globally.
Good points. Also WMUK was not involved in the interview process; and the advance notice to the community didn't really tally with what they were looking for. (Plus you were supposed to type all your O-levels/GCSEs into their system. and bring the certificates to the interview. I did skip the latter, on a hunch.)
