Kimonos and Khalili
Khalili Collections
The partnership between the Khalili Collections and Wikimedia UK has entered a new phase, with User:MartinPoulter being employed part-time as a Wikimedian In Residence for six months starting 13 February 2020. The project page is at w:en:Wikipedia:GLAM/Khalili and monthly reports will appear in this newsletter. The Khalili Foundation is working on the first batch of images for bulk upload. In the mean time they have shared a high-resolution image of an item from the Khalili Collection of Kimono (right). Martin has written an article about the Khalili Collection of Kimono, which will serve as a gallery of kimono images once they are available. English Wikipedia's list of Islamic art museums has been updated with a list published by Professor Khalili, taking it from 16 entries to 76.
