Wikipedia:GLAM/MGS/14th Month Report

Objectives & outcomes
Developing Open Knowledge
 * The resident met with the George Bain curator of the Groam House Museum about developing a more substantial piece of work with the museum toward the end of the project. The resident has agreed a date to meet with the museum board to advocate for the use of open knowledge in a museums context.  The George Bain collection is a Recognised Collection of National Significance to Scotland and would be a great addition to the Commons.
 * The resident met with staff at the Glasgow Women's Library (also a holder of a Recognised Collection) in advance of the editathon on 30 March to discuss options for image uploads and future work.
 * The resident met with a member of staff from the Glasgow School of Art, (also a holder of a Recognised Collection) in advance of the editathon on 25 May.
 * The resident continued to provide support to the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders' regimental museum intern on developing their project around their collection.

Develop, involve and engage WMUK volunteers
