Great impact of cooperations

Wikipedian in residence - Belgrade City Library

The first six-month project, Wikipedian in residence in cooperation with the Belgrade City Library, was successfully completed in March. During this project, 126 new articles were written on Serbian Wikipedia, 26 were supplemented, and 278 were illustrated. A total of 1,001 files were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, of which 875 were photographs, 120 magazines, and 6 books. The fact that the Belgrade City Library hired Jovana, our Wikipedian in residence, as a historian after the completion of the project gives us a real indicator of the success of the cooperation and mutual satisfaction with the achieved results. With this cooperation and events after the end of the project, we have strengthened relations and paved the way for new successes

Wikipedian in residence - Jewish Digital Library

One-month Wikipedian in residence in cooperation with Jewish Digital Library was completed in March, which was the initial step in joint activities. During the Wikipedian in residence, 32 new articles were written, 8 were supplemented, and 5 were illustrated on Serbian Wikipedia, while 60 files were uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, of which 6 were books. In cooperation with the Jewish Digital Library, we are working on the preparation of an edit-a-thon that will last from May 3 to 9.

In cooperation with the Association of Fine Artists of Serbia, we have digitized six more catalogs of the Association's Spring and Autumn exhibitions, thus completing the collection of post-war catalogs on Wikimedia Commons.
