Museums, especially smaller museums, may be interested in the following paper giving some guidance on added a museum page to Wikipedia:
Museums and Wikipedia, Jonathan P. Bowen and Jim Angus. In David Bearman and Jennifer Trant (eds.), MW2006: Muse…
One of the curators of the Tropenmuseum has been writing about his topic, Papua New Guinea on Wikipedia. He is thrilled that the Tropenmuseum will donate 100.000 images to Commons. This will allow him to use the pictures he is familiar with as an il…
Very true! I was wondering that when I posted it. In the US attendance fees are a large part of revenue for museums. Even when museums are "free" usually through corporate sponsorship or government funding, the museum still has to show good attendan…
Thanks, Great post! However, in response to "Editing in MediaWiki is just too damn hard for the majority of the population." I would like to steer you to the project I have been working on at the Minnesota Historical Society, - Placeography. Built w…
Excellent comments. I can't help think that when we talk about social media in our institutions and organizations we are really have to talk about two different business models and social media will play out culturally depending on which model.

I was so taken by what you've said here that I went and wrote a blog post quoting your whole last paragraph. Hope you don't mind! http://www.wittylama.com/2009/07/local-history-and-wikipedia/
We definitely need more stories and examples like that on…
For those interested in discussing and posting resources on organisational change and museums
Hmmm, things that comes to mind are: What level of "pull" is okay for cultural organizations to do? What kind of credit, branding do cultural organizations get? What kind of links - back to the original file or pointing to the organization are okay?…
I will definitely be watching the Twitter feed!
Folks might find the paper "Collaborative History - Creating (and Fostering) a Wiki Community" that Tracey Baker, Rose Sherman and I presented at the Museum and the Web conference useful for community…
Echoing Gerard's response: wiki structures are pretty far outside the box of what museums are used to doing. So they need our help to see where the synergies are and how this can work for them.
Uploading individual images to illustrate particular a…
Web at the Minnesota Historical Society exists within the IT department. The core web team is two web designers, two programmers, and two content management persons (although we all wear many additional hats). Responsibility for updating pages and a…
This group is for anyone working in a web team, or with the web, in a museum, gallery or library. It is for sharing and generating ideas, projects, or connecting with people doing similar work.
Hoi, several GLAM have provided the WMF with collections of images that come complete with annotations. At this moment I am working with the Amsterdam Tropenmuseum and we are preparing first a small collection on Suriname, slavery and the Maroon. We…
Hi Joe
The Wikimedia group in Australia are holding a special conference next week to discuss this very issue! You can follow it at http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/GLAM and twitter tag #GLAM-WIKI
I am familiar with Wikipedia Loves Art a photography contest among museums with the aim of illustrating Wikipedia articles. But I am curious as to what (if anything) museums have been doing to add information to topics of their expertise in Wikipedi…
I don't think one could accuse Wikipedia or Linux of being democracies. However, one feature of these institutions that would be very interesting, if not impossible, to apply to museums is the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License and the…
