Wikipedia is a ubiquitous part of the Internet, but where did it come from, and why do we rely
on it so heavily? Run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia is maintained not by
an editorial board but by hundreds of thousands of self-organising volunteers. Along with its
sister projects Commons and Wikidata it now underpins the world’s knowledge ecosystem,
but has significant biases and gaps – and, famously, anyone can edit it.

There are so many opportunities for galleries. libraries, archives, museums and record management (GLAMR) to grow their impact through Wikipedia and other Wikimedia platforms.

Wikimedia Australia has developed a special four-part training program for GLAMR organisations in our region. We can either offer this training to your staff or your can download the following resources and either undertake the training yourself or guide your team.

Module 1 - An introduction to the Wikimedia Movement

Wikipedia is a ubiquitous part of the Internet, but where did it come from, and why do we rely on it so heavily? Run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia is maintained not by an editorial board but by hundreds of thousands of self-organising volunteers. Along with its sister projects Commons and Wikidata it now underpins the world’s knowledge ecosystem, but has significant biases and gaps – and, famously, anyone can edit it.
