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
