Trzecie GLAMowe spotkanie online_materiały promocyjne


At the end of September the third online GLAM meeting was organized. The goal of the GLAM meetings’ cycle is to get the community more familiar with GLAM activities and invite Wikimedians to contribute to the GLAM projects.

Redaktor GLAM talked about wikiresidence in Polona, the biggest Polish digital library with more than 3,6 mln objects. During the second part of the meeting we all had a chance to see how one can get involved in a project by editing Wikimedia projects.

Since August 2020 around 466 k of images from Polona have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. They include portraits, archival views of villages and buildings, boards showing fauna and flora, illustrations from books, manuscripts, etc. It’s the biggest collection uploaded to Wikimedia Commons within partnerships in Poland.
