About the Residency[edit]

As of January 2019, the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland is hosting a Wikimedian in Residence, in order to explore how the Society can engage better with the Wikimedia projects, and move towards more open ways of working.

This is an experimental model for a residency supported by WMUK, in which an existing member of staff has been identified to take on the role of Wikimedian. The aim is to embed engagement with the Wikimedia projects within the everyday work of the society. The Wikimedian in Residence is DougRM.
