Welcoming Auckland Museum's Wikipedia Summer Students
As part of the annual Summer Scholar programme, Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum welcomed a new cohort of five university students to join our Collections & Information Access team and to be introduced into the world of Wikipedia. Our students come from a diverse range of areas including Law, Art History, Economics, Politics, International Relations, Anthropology, Global Studies and Sociology.
The students will take part in a 10 week programme,learning about the Wikimedia movement and how to make meaningful contributions to Wikipedia. The brief centres around creating Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland local histories more visible on Wikipedia to support teachers and students in the new Aotearoa New Zealand histories curriculum.
During week one, students learnt about how GLAM institutions can utilise Wikimedia platforms and build Wikimedia strategies in sharing the knowledge and resources from their institutions. They learnt the basics of Wikipedia and completed the dashboard training modules. The students created their user pages: Chefcat29, LegionesCataegis, LynKing1123, RW3003, Sid432, and are in the process of researching and creating their first articles. We look forward to sharing all their incredible mahi and contributions over the next few months!
