Against this backdrop\, ASPIRE invites us to forge stronger partnerships\, uplift underrepresented voices\, and build frameworks that honor both local stories and global perspectives. \nASPIRE with us in Salt Lake City as we envision what museums can become when we commit to growth\, empathy\, and accountability! \nRequests for proposals is open now through Friday\, March 27\, 2026!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Assessing Opportunities for Engagement with the Wikipedia Workbook for Cultural Institutions
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Mary Mark Ockerbloom. The “Wikipedia Workbook for Cultural Institutions” (PDF link) is designed to help Wikipedians\, Wikimedians in Residence and interested GLAM institutions (Galleries\, Libraries\, Archives\, Museums) to survey opportunities for engagement with Wikipedia and its related projects. The Workbook gives an overview of key projects\, the ways in which they can and cannot be used\, and where to find resources to learn more about using them. Both Wikipedians and GLAM professionals have specialized knowledge and skills. This Workbook attempts to introduce key concepts and information that will be useful to both groups and support more rewarding conversations and collaborations. \nThe Workbook is organized so that it pairs information with suggested tasks. You can focus on the content that is most useful to you. Major sections include: Using this workbook\, Wikipedia articles\, Wikimedia Commons\, Wikidata\, Logic models and metrics\, Institutional workflows\, and a bibliography of Resources. Sections include topics such as OpenRefine\, InteGraality\, and dealing with disinformation. The intention is not to teach someone everything they may need to know; rather\, it gives starting points for further exploration. The Workbook can help Wikimedians and GLAM partners to assess their resources\, identify areas where they can potentially contribute\, define their goals\, and plan ways to measure their impact. \nThe Wikipedia Workbook for Cultural Institutions was developed with support from Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami\, Florida\, and is freely available on Wikimedia Commons.
