Hi Andy,

thanks a lot for the announcement. Please forgive me the lazy and perhaps silly question, but what exactly does ' heritage service' in this context refer to? I'm not looking for an elaborate definition, but rather whether it is primarily physical stored heritage (small objects), buildings or intangible heritage.

Thanks,
Lodewijk

I am pleased to share with you the news that I shall be Wikipedian in
Residence with Staffordshire Archive & Heritage Service, here in the
English Midlands, from mid-November (part-time).

This is a pilot project. I will be working with number of
Staffordshire museums, to increase staff awareness of Wikipedia, train
them to edit, and make recommendations for future public engagement
(e.g. editathons), as well as planning a larger project to follow.

I shall create a Wikipedia project page once I am in post.

Naturally, I hope that the use of QRpedia, and the release of some
media under an open licence, will feature.

I hope you share my pleasure in looking forward to this promising project.
