As well on January 14 finished the GLAMing Madrid Challenge, a writing contest about the three museums and their collections], with the participation of 30 users from 10 different languages. We continued recording concerts of classical music at Museum of Romanticism, uploading to Commons 5 new files from a pianist.

Nacimiento y Defunción de los Gobernantes de Chile is a project by Wikimedia Chile for search, collect, record and digitally publish the certificates of birth and death of the rulers of Chile with the aim to preserve historical data, make them available to the general public and complete historical information relevant to Chile. We collaborated with them getting one certificate from the archives of a church in Seville.
