FACT, Heather Corcoran The afternoon workshop will be run by Mike Peel, Director of the Wikimedia UK chapter. Across the globe, Wikimedia projects are the largest, most consulted and most accessible information sources available. Wikimedia’s goal is to create a freely available and freely reusable source of knowledge. This knowledge however, can only be truly useful if it is developed from reliable primary and secondary sources. The extensive expertise and collections held within galleries, libraries, museums and archives are those sources. Mike will introduce chapter's recent efforts to engage in such partnerships with cultural organisations across the country, building long term relationships and developing audiences who play a vital role in the archiving process. He will also give a short workshop in how you can contribute to Wikipedia to increase your organisation's visibility and helping to develop a picture of its contextual environment.
