This summer the Archives & Special Collections will host a summer research fellow. The 2014 project will focus on increasing awareness of our unique resources at Puget Sound through Wikipedia.
Through Wikipedia’s GLAM-Wiki project (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) the Wikipedian in Residence will increase access to the Archives & Special Collections holdings and services while strengthening the relationship between the Archives & Special Collections and the Wikipedia community. Adhering to archival and Wikipedia best practices, the Wikipedian in Residence will: promote new or existing Wiki projects related to the University’s holdings; work with staff to digitize, compile, and organize resources that can be shared with the Wikipedia community; and advise staff on Wikipedia best practices.
For more information, contact Katie Henningsen, Archivist and Digital Collections Coordinator or drop in during our Open House on February 12th, from 4:00-5:30 p.m.
