Image donation from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum - Wikimediauk-l

17 Jan 2023

Hello all,

Last month the Royal Albert Memorial Museum <https://rammuseum.org.uk/>
approached Wikimedia UK for help sharing images. As part of our Connected
Heritage <https://wikimedia.org.uk/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_Memori…

My personal favourite is the painting of the monumental East Gate
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:East_View_of_the_East_Gate.jpg> 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
