The Wikimedia UK GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) working
group is now ready to find UK institutions willing to work with us by
creating Wikipedian in Residence posts.
Our budget is limited but there is enormous scope to be flexible. These
posts could be for one day a week, they could limited term posts, based at
home – or full time positions at an institution, like the British Library
post<http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2012/09/three-months-as-a-wikipedian-in-residence-at-the-british-library/>.
We will of course be pleased to see applications from institutions with
whom we have already begun a positive relationship – but please do note
that the applications have to be from the institutions, rather than
individual volunteers.
Time is very short so we need bids, using this GLAM WIR application
form<http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2012/11/were-looking-for-wikipedians-in-residence/glam-wir-application-form/>,
to be received by 5pm on November 15th. Please send your completed form to
daria.cybulska – at – wikimedia.org.uk Daria will will be convening a panel
to make the decisions that will be recommended to the board, hopefully at
the meeting of November 17/18. Please also feel free to contact us for more
information by emailing Daria or calling our office on 020 7065 0990.
