Hey all,

This has been such an informative thread! The list that Rachel sent, I'm going to update it with items mentioned here, and eventually that'll be live on our Digital Public Library of America meta page that outlines the work of the Wikimedia Working Group. I'll share that to this thread when I'm done (we're currently still working on it - I'm just slow.)  Now that school is done, I have more time to dedicate so expect the update soon. I'm hoping to do a few couple minute videos too, on basic editing and getting set up to edit. Let me know if there's anything specific that seems to be missing and I'll see what I can do.

Thank you all for your thoughtful responses and sharing. These are great resources!

Jamie

I wanted to thank everyone who has been sending suggestions.  These are all super helpful and much appreciated.

I had a workbook page where I used https://www.denelezh.org/  as an example of how WIKIDATA can be used TO EXAMINE COMPLEX QUESTIONS like  "What do we know about representation of women botanists?"


www.denelezh.org/  is gone; does anyone know of something comparable that allows selection of a topic area?  I found

https://humaniki.wmcloud.org/ but it doesn't get that specific. 


Many thanks, Mary Mark Ockerbloom

Great to see all these docs and tools.

For a master list of GLAM tools in the context of a workflow, I usually point to this, which is the only real one-stop-shopping place for discovering the common tools for GLAM work.

Hello all,
What are the best tools and training materials you've found? Are they up-to-date? What do you recommend? 

Several years ago I wrote a Wikipedia Workbook for Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, which I am currently updating. The goal is an overview of the sorts of things that institutions can do with Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons,  with links to useful starting points for staff such as tools and training materials.  Given that many of the Wiki interfaces and tools have changed over time, I am looking particularly for suggestions and updates. For example, many of the Art+Feminism resources are long gone. So what do you recommend?

Feel free to reply here or email me at celebration.women@gmail.com
I am happy to share the new edition of the workbook when it is ready.
