Le cose che si possono fare, in realtà, sono quasi sempre le stesse, più o meno complicate, più o meno impegnative:

  • Donazione di materiale (in CC-BY-SA) e caricamento su Commons
  • Wikipediano in residenza
  • Editathon (wikipediani guidati da esperti che scrivono voci insieme, oppure addirittura la creazione di un articolo da capo, tutti insieme)
  • Concorsi a premi per articoli migliori
  • Pass nel backstage per alcuni wikipediani


Con un'istituzione qualsiasi, più la "relazione" è profonda, meglio è. Nel senso che una cosa è un archivio che rilascia un fondo in CC-BY-SA nel suo sito, un'altra è un archivio che si impegna in un rapporto con uno o più wikipediani, con i suoi curatori, che carica immagini su Commons e cerca di inserirle negli articoli opportuni, che si impegna assieme ad un capitolo ad impegnare forza lavoro per confrontarsi con utenti di Wikipedia (editathon, backstage, ecc.). Per il resto, è tutta questione di fantasia :-)

Why should a cultural institution donate/partner with Wikimedia
  • It fits in closely with the core mission of the cultural institution of preserving heritage and history.
  • It step jumps the GLAM institution’s reach by increasing potential audiences.
  • Footfalls to the GLAM institution are likely to increase through greater awareness of the institute’s collection and knowledge.
  • It will provide a well-tested platform for the digitisation efforts of the GLAM institution. Staff will find it satisfying given its global reach and impact.
  • There is a strong likelihood of higher public relations coverage of the GLAM institute because of the Wikipedia’s goodwill.
  • We are a not for profit organisation, (when talking to most GLAMs you can say We are a fellow not for profit organisation).
