For example, http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/title/35 In fact, an interesting story we learned at the GLAM-WIKI conference last year was that the National Library didn't know much about some of the newspapers they were digitising. So, they created Wikipedia articles with the information (and references) that they knew about and then watched as Wikipedians went along and filled out the content - improving both of our services.
