Projet Québec/Canada, a french GLAM project presented on the French Wikisource in collaboration with WMCA and BAnQ (Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec) bears fruit.
With the enthusiastic collaboration of the Collection nationale (National Collection), in the last year, over 35 historic documents and books were rendered in digital format on Wikisource for the public and many more are on their way to be completed.
Seeing the potential of this great collaboration between contributors and BAnQ's mission to preserve and desseminate our published heritage, BAnQ decided to link Wikisource directly from their official website's main page!
This new window on the national archives of Québec website will bring, I'm sure, great visibility for Wikisource and many interested people who will want to contribute!

Great news! French wikisource is really a marvellous project, and such news are a deserved reward for developers and contributors.

Great! Thanks Ernest for sharing. Wikisource has an enormous potential for archives and librariaries, I hope to see more and more of these partnerships. Please keep us updated.
BTW, I'd like everyone to endorse the Wikisource conference in Wien! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WCUG_Wikisource/Wikisource_Confer...
it's really important that the community support the project, so please spend few minutes and sign :-)

I've add myself. Wikimedia France will probably give 2-3 scholarships for the Conference. It's not yet totally sure, but in a good way ;)

Thanks! It would be very very important for us. The more, the merrier :-)
