Dear all,
Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS) is the National Development Body for the
museums and galleries sector in Scotland. They are seeking applications for
a Wikimedian in Residence from dedicated individuals with excellent
presentation and digital skills to work with Glasgow Museums for a 4 month
secondment followed by 8 months at the MGS office in Edinburgh. The post
will run for 12 months starting in early January 2015.
The project will support museums and galleries to improve their skills in
creating online content and open data projects from the digital curation of
their collections. This is a unique opportunity to help enrich Wikipedia
and its sister projects and share with the world the expert knowledge from
Scottish museums and galleries and to engage with curators, members of the
public and researchers to encourage contributions to the development of
Wikipedia articles.
MGS works with Scotland’s museums and galleries to create ambitious,
dynamic and sustainable enterprises: connecting people, places and
collections; inspiring, delighting and creating public value.
This post is jointly funded by Wikimedia UK and Museums Galleries Scotland.
Kind regards,
Daria
