Florence National Central Library Conference
This month the first Conference organized in cooperation with one of the main national cultural institution and the professional Association of Italian Libraries (AIB) has been announced. During the Challenges and alliances between Libraries and Wikipedia conference, on November 28th, librarians and wikimedians will talk about Europeana projects, cooperation with public libraries, Wikisource, Wikipedians in Residence, Wikidata for libraries and Wiki Loves Monuments. The conference is the second event hosted in the Florence National Library, after the bibliohackaton in october 2013, and is an important result of the official BNCF–Wikimedia Italy collaboration.

Wikimedia Italy is now listed among the signatories of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, which we support since 2007.
