Eight new articles on MoW inscriptions
This is the eighteenth monthly report of the ongoing work to improve the representation of the UNESCO Memory of the World international register on Wikimedia projects. This is supported and fully funded by the Khalili Foundation, with the involvement of UNESCO and Wikimedia UK.
Data set paper
I have had feedback from the Memory of the World team on the draft paper about the open data set, and made progress on improving the draft in response.
Indigenous issues

As promised in the last monthly report, the new article on Docip (mentioning the "Declarations made by indigenous peoples to the United Nations from 1982 to 2015") was linked from the front page of English Wikipedia on 15 April, in a Did You Know fact that also linked the article on indigenous peoples. On a day with 7.05 million visits to the front page, just under five thousand readers followed the link to read about Docip, and about one thousand followed the link to Indigenous peoples.
