Any funding is great news for the chapter and well done to everyone
involved in getting the award.
Having read both the National Lottery and WMUK, it seems to fall short on
anything particularly specific on what the funds will be spent on?
Presumably, the chapter had some provisional/speculative ideas of
organisations and programmes it would assign funds to when it put itself
forward for this pot of cash? Are there existing projects that the chapter
expects this money to help extend/expand, what is considered
"underrepresented cultural heritage".
Apologies if this stuff is available elsewhere, I'm a bit out of the loop
with chapter happenings, and I've only gotten (back) into the content side
of things really since October-ish.

Hi Lewis
Many thanks for your email and for your interest in the project!
Obviously the press release and social media announcements around the grant
are by necessity short on detail, although the application itself was much
more comprehensive. But to clarify, this won't be a pot of cash that other
organisations can apply to Wikimedia UK for. Instead, we will be
recruiting a person and a half (i.e one full time and one part time post)
to work with the existing staff team to plan and deliver a programme of
activity for and with heritage organisations, which will include:
-
A webinar programme enabling a wide range of stakeholders within the
sector to increase their understanding of the case for open knowledge, as
well as practical issues relating to open licensing. We're hoping to reach
up to 100 organisations through this element of the programme.
-
We will work in a more collaborative, in-depth way with up to 20
organisations, with whom we will plan and deliver bespoke editing events or
other workshops to develop new skills and improve the coverage of their
heritage on the Wikimedia projects. In practice, we envisage that these 20
organisations will come through the webinar programme, but that won't
necessarily be the case for all of them.
-
We will identify between two and four organisations to work in a more
in-depth way to develop and embed more open policies and practice, with
sustained intervention and support along the lines of our existing
residency model.
There will be a focus on heritage which is underrepresented on Wikimedia,
and we may narrow this focus down further to specific groups. We will share
more information about this as we develop our thinking, now that the
funding is confirmed. We don't currently have any project partners in mind
and will focus in the first instance on recruiting for the new posts.
Again, we will share information about that through this mailing list.
Best wishes
Lucy
