Connected Heritage webinar: sharing cultural heritage online

Wikimedia UKbelieves that open access to knowledge is a fundamental right, and a driver for social and economic development. A registered charity, we work with the Wikimedia Projects such as Wikipedia to enable people and organisations to contribute to a shared understanding of the world through the democratic creation, distribution and consumption of knowledge. We are committed to the ideal of a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, and believe that here in the UK, we can play a unique and important role in realising that vision.Wikimedia UKis supported entirely by voluntary donations and welcome new members and supporters.

The talk will last for about 45 minutes, with 15 minutes for questions and discussion from the audience.Wikipedia is read 22 billion times a month, making it one of the most visited websites in the world. It is a crucial way to share knowledge.If you work or volunteer for a heritage or cultural organisation, please do come along.After this webinar, participants will understand more about open knowledge; know how to follow up if they would like to continue with the project; and have resources and materials to make a case for participation to organisation leaders.The webinar will be hosted on Zoom, with joining details sent via email.
