Temporary 6 month post

York Museums Trust's (YMT) Digital Team is embarking on a major
partnership project with Wikimedia UK to help improve online access to our
extensive collections and disseminate information about our collections,
buildings and gardens to the widest possible audience
As part of a sixth-month project, we will be taking our Tempest
Anderson collection and using it as the cornerstone of a major public
engagement programme to create, develop and deliver content on an
internationally acclaimed and globally used platform.
Do you have the skills and experience to provide access to our
digitised collections online, introduce new and simplified licensing for
digital assets and develop a rolling programme of digital volunteering with
Wikipedia and Wikimedia UK ?
We want to work with someone who has a proven track record of
editing Wikipedia and using the encyclopedia's sister sites, an
understanding of Wikimedia policies and best practices, and experience of
delivering training and achieving key learning outcomes.
But most importantly, the right candidate will have a commitment to
open knowledge, transparent working practices and a passion for the arts,
history and science.
Want to know more...?
