For those who may have missed the Signpost coverage: the US National
Archives included Wikimedia in their 2014-2016 Open Government Plan. [1]
[2] [3] According to the Signpost coverage, National Archives
Wikimedian-in-Residence Dominic McDevitt-Parks
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dominic> said that the Archives will
eventually upload all of its holdings to Commons.

According to the Archives, "The 4,000 Wikipedia articles featuring our
records received more than one billion page views in Fiscal Year 2013."

Thanks very much to the Archives and to the Wikimedia DC chapter for this
engagement.
