Dear all

Just wanted to share with you Wikipedia's Did You Know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page section today features Muhammad Sadiq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Sadiq_(photographer) who was the first to photograph the holy sites of Islam. The article images, such as this one of the Kaaba https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Khalili_Collection_Hajj_and_Arts_of_Pilgrimage_arc.pp_0211.04.jpg, are available on Wikimedia Commons thanks to the Wikimedia UK partnership with the Khalili Collections https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Khalili_Collections and the work of WiR Martin Poulter.

Wikimedians in Residence are a key aspect of our partnership work with cultural and education organisations, opening collections so we all benefit.

Best wishes Natasha
