New Mix n Match set[edit]
We have an up to date Mix n Match set for Te Papa agents (party records), and are regularly running checks to pull new matches into our own collection management system.
Wikimania 2023, Singapore[edit]
Te Papa's Stitchbird2 and Avocadobabygirl presented our framework for scoped contribution projects as part of a GLAMs-focused session during Wikimania, 16-19 August 2023.
Huge thanks to Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand, who provided a grant allowing us to attend (as well as all sorts of other support).
