We'd love to invite the new Jordanian WiRs to join the Wikimedians in
Residence Exchange Network, and our mailing list / monthly meetings:

Happy to help as well. I am the WiR at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. 
We have just got an intern in to help run a mini-photo comp to increase the 
number of archaeology photos on the commons so there might be some scope to 
work together there, depending on what your WiR are doing.

Please feel free to put them in contact with me.

Kind regards,
Doug

Hi Raya,

Really excited to hear about this initiative and would be happy to help if I 
can.  I worked as an archaeologist in Jordan a (very) long time ago and have 
maintained an interest in the country and it’s history ever since.

All the best,
Lorna

How fantastic Raya!

I think most of our residents look at this mailing list regularly but just
in case, I'll put you in touch by email.

[Wikimediauk-l] Wikimedians in Residence in Amman

2020-02-20 Thread Raya Sharbain
Good afternoon everyone,

The American Centre of Oriental Research  in Amman
has hired two part-time Wikimedians in Residence to work on the Open
Jordanian Heritage 
initiative. I'm working closely with them and was wondering if there's a
chance to connect them with experienced WiRs in the UK.

Warm wishes to all,

Raya
