South Australian Museum
The South Australia Museum have been awarded Wikimedia Australia Partner Project funding for 2024-2025.
The Project
The South Australian Museum partner project, led by Museum digital transformation leader Adam Moriarty, aims to increase the visibility of the South Australian Museum's research and collections, with a focus on local scientific research and South Australian cultural history, through Wikipedia and related platforms.
Phase 1 will involve collaborating with museum staff, the Wikipedia community, and a consultant to develop a roadmap for engaging with Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons. This strategy will prioritise inclusivity and ensure that contributions effectively represent South Australia’s history and culture. The roadmap will be shared with other local GLAM institutions to promote broader collaboration.
Phase 2 will involve a part-time Wikipedian-in-Residence (WiR) for 100 hours to implement the roadmap. The WiR will work on priority areas, create and edit content, provide staff training, and engage the community. This work will lay the foundation for sustainable long-term contributions of the South Australia Museum to Wikimedia platforms.
