Hello Wikisourcerers,
We are excited to inform you all that the West Bengal Wikimedians User
Group is starting a GLAM project with the century-old Rammohun Library and
Free Reading Room <https://reasonator.toolforge.org/?q=Q68023417>, Kolkata
from tomorrow.
A Wikimedian-in-residence has been trained and assigned to digitize the
public domain collections of the library, who will be responsible for
selection, digitization and uploading of the contents on Wikimedia sites.
The paid position will be taken care of by a general support fund from this
year from a portion dedicated to Bangla Wikisource. The scanner, which is
going to be used for the digitization, has been kindly provided by CIS-A2K
upon request.
The GLAM project can be found here - https://bn.wikisource.org/s/i1po
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
