Wikipedia:GLAM/State Library of Queensland

The State Library of Queensland is partnering with Wikimedia Australia to find ways the State Library can add authoritative content to Wikipedia and encouraging Queensland Public Libraries to do the same. The common aim is to get Queensland communities to share their places, people and stories with the world through the Wikimedia projects.
