Experience in GLAM projects

Presbyterian Church, Ebensburg, Pennsylvania

Presbyterian Historical Society (Nov. 2014-May 2015)

• Selected and scanned about 1,000 pre-1923 postcards from their collections
• Uploaded the images to Commons
• Placed them in various lists and articles on Wikipedia, and wrote articles which used the images.
  • e.g. List of Presbyterian churches in Pennsylvania, List of municipalities in Pennsylvania, Forks of the Brandywine Presbyterian Church

GLAM Cafe Philadelphia (2013-present)

• Monthly meetings and edit-a-thons held in conjunction with Philadelphia's Digital Humanities Project
• Meetings held at Chemical Heritage Foundation, University of Pennsylvania Libraries, Temple University, the Library Company of Philadelphia, with one-time meetings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Center for Architecture
• At edit-a-thons I work during the speaker's introductory talk answering individual questions and helping new editors register accounts and learn basic Wiki mark-up. As the edit-a-thon progress, I help new editors start their own articles, often formatting or adding references. If time permits, I edit my own articles.

Guimard's Cité Entrance, Paris Métropolitain, Smarthistory

• Led the project
• Coordinated with the leaders of the Smarthistory Project at the Khan Academy.

Why you can't hire me I'm proud to be a Wikipedia volunteer and would be happy to help your GLAM institution collaborate with Wikipedia. Since I am happily retired, I would be quite interested and willing to work with you without pay. If you'd like to pay somebody to be a Wikipedian-in-Residence, you should use the money to hire somebody who is younger and needs the experience to help start a career.
