Session title: The history of X in 100 objects

Session type: Lecture
Track: GLAM

The Basque Wikimedians User Group has launched a new GLAM project with the idea of telling the history of the Basque Country in 100 objects that can be visited in museums. With an innovative layout and transmedia idea, this project could be replicated elsewhere by other communities.

Description

[edit | edit source]

The Basque Wikimedians User Group has created an innovative GLAM project devoted to work with museums and build a collaborative list of 100 objects that can explain the history of the Basque Country. The museums will work on the historical description and questions that those objects in their collection arise, and we will make a platform inside Wikipedia to showcase those objects. As a transmedia project, we are working on other free knowledge presentations, from a podcast to a card playing deck. In this lecture we will present the idea, what we have done so far, and help other communities to deliver a similar project.
