Wikipedia Collaboration: Key results

• Enable the Wikimedia community to work with GLAM content (for instance through Edit-a-thons)• Objects added through the collaboration generated 18,825.448 page

impressions on Wikipedia in 2013

• Valuable help with finding GLAM partners to work with in various follow up projects.

• The internationally oriented focus of the cooperation supports intra-chapter cooperation and pan-EU campaigns:• Pan EU challenges (Wiki Loves Public Art, WWI, 1989)

• Wiki Loves Public Monuments (2.650) – “Special Award for the best photo of a First World War-related photo”

WP2 Lessons learned in YR2

• The 1914-1918 campaign model is robust, and has inspired memory institutions outside the consortium to organize collection days.

• A large number of records (stories) and related files still await cataloguing by our local subject experts.

• The 1989 campaign requires a different and more challenging level of engagement, as these events are more recent in public memory

• Europeana proved once more to act as a driver for pan-EU campaigns and receive a lot of visibility

• Many ways to collaborate with Wikipedia. Bringing the Europeana Network and the Wikipedia Community together

Looking Ahead (1/2)

Digital Storytelling Platform• Publish on Europeana Labs, evaluate use for user created

galleries
