Richard,

Just had a look and quite a few of the buildings/sites illustrated do not have articles & the main Exeter articles already has loads of images.

Added one or two to relevant categories on commons.

Thanks Farah - we're talking to RAMM about how to go about adding images to articles. We've not decided just yet, but one possibility is having a public editathon. I'll email this list if we go down that route.

Hello all,

Last month the Royal Albert Memorial Museum approached Wikimedia UK for help sharing images. As part of our Connected Heritage project we're helping cultural heritage professionals improve their digital skills and share content on Wikimedia sites and helping some of their staff learn how to use Pattypan fits pretty nicely with that.

Yesterday, RAMM and WMUK worked together to share a few dozen public domain images from their collection: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Royal_Albert_Memorial_Museum_and_Art_Gallery

My personal favourite is the painting of the monumental East Gate in the city wall. It might be controversial, but its eye catching colour just edges ahead of the line drawing of the castle for me.

If anyone feels like adding them to articles, you're welcome to get stuck in and every edit will help. We've set up tracking on BaGLAMa and are hoping to use the tool to show to other museums in the region the benefits of sharing stuff on Commons.

Kind regards,
Richard Nevell
