There have been Wikimedians (or Wikipedians, same difference) in
Residence at the British Library, Royal Society and Wellcome Trust,
and I am also in residence at ORCID and have previously been in
residence with the Royal Society of Chemistry, among other bodies -
see:
http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/my-services/
for more on my work.
Naturally I'd be happy to chat with anyone on this list, who would
like to know how working with Wikipedia, the other Wikimedia projects,
and their community of editors, can help them to meet their
organisation's aims.
