Hello everyone,
The Altea Gallery https://www.alteagallery.com/ have got in touch with some queries about sharing images on Wikimedia Commons.
"We hold a substantial archive of high-resolution images and professionally
researched descriptions that we believe could support education, research, and public access, aligning closely with the goals of the GLAM-Wiki initiative. We’d love to explore how we might contribute. One idea would be to offer thematic sets of public domain material."
I can set up a meeting to discuss their ideas further, but would need a volunteer who would be interested in helping them share the images (and perhaps join the call). Let me know if it's of interest.
Richard
Hi folks,
Thanks for the interest, it looks like we've got this in hand.
Best wishes, Richard
