Stuart Prior from Wikimedia UK and Sandra Becker from Wikimedia Switzerland demonstrated tools to measure GLAM-Wiki partnerships (GLAM COW toolkit and Cassandra tool). The focal point of the agenda was exchange of experience on measuring metrics in European chapters and sharing what we are the issues that are vital for our work as GLAM coordinators.

Museum’s professionals at the Wawel Royal Castle State Art Collection had another opportunity to improve their wiki skills by learning basic editing of Wikipedia. The GLAM-Wiki workshop was led by Kamila Neuman – Open Culture Manager in Wikimedia Poland and Wikipedian EwkaC on the 20th of February in Krakow.
The programme of the workshop was redesigned with the intent of giving only a very short theoretical introduction to the general principles of Wikipedia, so we could focus on the practical issues of editing – i.e. how to edit existing articles, create new ones, and insert a reference, add pictures. This new formula made a workshop more dynamic and enabled the participants to have first editing experience during the event with a possibility to ask questions and solve problems ad hoc by experienced Wikipedians.
The goal was to equip the museum’s professionals with skills of editing Wikipedia so they could continue to develop the series of articles connected with the Crown Treasury. The Wawel Royal Castle State Art Collection, where the museum is located, for centuries had been the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood.
