Wikimedia Australia is the Australian chapter of the international Wikimedia Foundation. We support people and organisations to contribute to Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia platforms through events, training and partnerships.

1Lib1Ref stands for one librarian, one reference. It's a campaign by librarians around the world (and anyone who has a passion for free knowledge) to add a missing references to articles on Wikipedia. In 2022, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are joining forces to offer librarians across our region online support to add their reference.
