Wikipedia Collaboration: Key results
• Enable the Wikimedia community to work with GLAM content (for instance through Edit-a-thons)• Objects added through the collaboration generated 18,825.448 page
impressions on Wikipedia in 2013
• Valuable help with finding GLAM partners to work with in various follow up projects.
• The internationally oriented focus of the cooperation supports intra-chapter cooperation and pan-EU campaigns:• Pan EU challenges (Wiki Loves Public Art, WWI, 1989)
• Wiki Loves Public Monuments (2.650) – “Special Award for the best photo of a First World War-related photo”
WP2 Lessons learned in YR2
• The 1914-1918 campaign model is robust, and has inspired memory institutions outside the consortium to organize collection days.
• A large number of records (stories) and related files still await cataloguing by our local subject experts.
• The 1989 campaign requires a different and more challenging level of engagement, as these events are more recent in public memory
• Europeana proved once more to act as a driver for pan-EU campaigns and receive a lot of visibility
• Many ways to collaborate with Wikipedia. Bringing the Europeana Network and the Wikipedia Community together
Looking Ahead (1/2)
