Search for collaborators
For the project «Archeowiki - new "archaeologists" in Lombardia - virtual and real paths» we are searching for collaborators.
You might remember that Archeowiki is a project for archaelogisy alphabetization, aiming to appraise and distribute through Wikipedia with a Creative Common license the contents created by cultural institutions. Moreover, we want to engage new categories of people in the fruition of the lesser known archaelological heritage in Lombardia, both putting online cultural content and letting people directly see the findings, exploiting “Wikigite” (wikitrips).
Who we are searching for
| « Collaborator must go with the public (general public, school, "weak" public like elder or disabled people) in the Wikigite. He/she will assist visitors, answering their questions about Wikipedia, helping them to retrieve information about the visited collections (e.g., photographs), in order to be able to improve the articles of Wikipedia about archaeology in general and the specific collections visited. » |
| « "Wikipedian in residence" (WiR) works in the museums, interfacing with personnel and the administrator of the collections, easing the insertion of the digitalized material on Wikipedia; in particular he/she follows the development of the articles about the institution and the objects present in its collections. Collaborator also assists the museum in the relationship with the partners of the project. » |
