Did you know that the Smithsonian Institution doesn't just include our museums, but
houses over a dozen archival repositories and 20 branch libraries? Of course you did
(because it is all on our Wikipedia pages).
Thus, we have lots of enthusiastic librarians and archivists among our staff who have been
making plans to participate in Wikipedia Loves
Libraries<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Librari… this
fall.
We are seeking partners from the DC Wikimedia chapter who would be interested in working
with Smithsonian Staff to event(s) in October or November. Possible ideas include
edit-a-thons, training/orientation for first time editors among our staff, & content
donations to commons, but we are open to any and all ideas!
Please email me or leave a message on my talk
page<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sarasays> if you are interested in
helping plan for this!
Best,
Sara
