In 2018, WMIT promoted several activities: 9 training courses, 10 seminars and 4 editathons, engaging more than 1000 participants (150 were new editors).

As in past years, WMIT took part in Convegno delle Stelline. Eusebia Parrotto, one of WMIT active members, was one of the speakers in the main session "Comunicare musei, archivi e biblioteche nell'era dei social. Opportunità e strategie di valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale" ("Communicating museums, archives and libraries in the era of social media. Opportunities and strategies to promote the cultural heritage").

The annual conference Sfide e alleanze tra biblioteche e Wikipedia ("Challenges and alliances between libraries and Wikipedia") at the public library Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Firenze was well attended, with around 50 participants. Worth mentioning are also the workshop for PhD students and librarians at Agricultural Department of Università Federico II di Napoli and the training (in remote) for the Montiferru librarians in Sardegna.

In 2018, WMIT renewed the agreement with Università di Torino (digital bibliographic information service of Foreign Languages and Literature and Modern culture Department). The university offered a three months scholarship to promote the literary-humanistic heritage of the Library, using open data platforms, with a special focus on Wikidata and Wikisource.

WMIT organized many editathons during the year. One of the most successful was the editathon at the Archaelogical Park of Paestum, with 13 participants and 8 Wikipedia articles edited.

In the framework of the project "Reach Out", WMIT and the Polo museale of Campania realized some activities with a group of twenty high school students: lessons on Wikipedia and one editathon, aiming to write and edit articles and to upload new photos on Wikimedia Commons of Palazzo Reale.

In occasion of the upcoming 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (May, 2nd 1519), WMIT signed a convention with Museo Galileo e Leonardo to realize the Progetto Leonardo. The museum will release materials in CC BY-SA, aiming to improve the contents about Leonardo da Vinci and his scientific works on Wikimedia projects, with the collaboration of researchers, experts and the general public.

Together with ICOM, WMIT took part in the round table on opportunities and goals of images' free licenses in the context of the day of web strategy in museums.

Cultural institutions and release of contents

Libraries

Since 2014, WMIT has been collaborating with BEIC Foundation. A Wikipedian in Residence is in charge of training BEIC’s staff on Wikimedia projects and tools: in particular, in 2018 the training focused on Wikidata. In fact, one of the goals of the collaboration is to put metadata owned by BEIC on Wikidata. At the end of the year 4.900 authors of BEIC’s catalogue had an entity on Wikidata.

Moreover, the WIR continued the job started in 2017 on Acta Eroditorum collection: some of the images already on Wikimedia Commons now illustrates Wikipedia articles, in Italian and in some of the most popular languages.

Up to December 2018, 20.374 images and other media of BEIC were uploaded on Commons. Among these images, the 17.000 photographs by Paolo Monti, digitalised and released in CC BY-SA by BEIC. During the month of December 2018, Wikimedia projects’ pages using the materials released by BEIC were visited over 19 million times.

As regards to Wikisource, over 1.400 books were uploaded on Commons and some of them are already on Wikisource. On March, 8th, BEIC’s staff, supported by the WIR, took part in the editathon promoted by Wikimedia Sweden and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In 2018, WMIT continued its collaboration with Biblioteca Comunale di Trento, whose project Geografie dal mondo antico brought on Wikimedia Commons 665 maps of XVII and XVIII century and other engravings. The project ended with one editathon on Wikipedia and Wikisource, held by the librarians of the public library of Trento.

ICAR staff and WMIT Wikipedian in residence

In march 2018 ended Marco Chemello’s residency as a Wikipedian at ICAR. At the end of the collaboration the Institution promoted a wiki-marathon with 15 participants, who created almost 100 new articles and improved other 25.

On March, 21 ICAR threw a final event to present the results of the collaboration with WMIT. In 2018 over 360 articles were edited on Wikipedia in Italian and 289 images were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The 80% of the images are now used in 489 pages on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

On March 2018 as well, Luca Martinelli ended his work as Wikipedian in Residence at ICBSA. Thanks to the collaboration with WMIT, the Institution released 40 sound files and 12 images of disks in CC BY-SA.

Fundraising

The main objective of 2018 was to keep the ‘status quo’, with regards to activities and actions. Due to some staff changes, in 2018 the whole fundraising area had a minor setback.

The total income of membership fees and donations was of 46.462,72 €, +68,46% compared to 2017. This increase is related to the Christmas campaign, which ran between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018.

Members

In 2018, the income from membership fees was stable (+2,37%). 312 members renewed their subscription. Each member received a membership card and a letter.

Donors

In 2018 WMIT had two campaigns: one was the continuation of Christmas campaign 2017 with subject "Wiki Loves Monuments", that reached 22.128 people by email (open rate 22%); the other was a small campaign at the end of July with subject "Openstreetmap", that reached 26.933 people by email (open rate 22%).

Thanks to these two actions, WMIT had 1.007 donations for a total income of 39.040,64 €.

We had two spontaneous donations of 1.000,00 € each (big donors) and five donations from middle donors (total donation equal or over 500€) for a total income of 4.651,00 €.

"Thank you" email were sent in response to 56,23% of all donations. This low rate is due to the fact that many donors one-off didn't share their email address.

In April WMIT sent an infographic to donors of 2017 to share the achievements and results reached by the association thanks to their support. The email was sent to 434 contacts, with an open rate of 38%.

Cinque per mille campaign

Like every year, from March to July WMIT launched the "Cinque per mille" campaign, the main source of revenue for WMIT.

All the contacts of WMI were invited via email, newsletter and social networks to donate their "Cinque per mille" to WMI. Also, given It's a tax deduction donation, we contacted accountants and CAF to promote the initiative.

The Wikimedia movement and the WMF also supported this campaign by publishing the central notice on all the Wikimedia projects for 4 weeks (2 + 2) and by publishing the site notice on the Wikipedia in Italian. WMF sent an email to its Italian donors too.

On May, 31st, the magazine "Internazionale" supported the campaign by publishing the banner of the campaign (free of charge).
