[edit]New agreement was signed with the State Archives in the Republic of Macedonia for collaboration this year. This Agreement is important for continuing the cooperation with the State Archives, although it does not involve the sending of regular Wikipedian in Residence every day in the office. The Agreement is signed with the note that GLAM Macedonia is sending Wikimedian in the office when necessary. We must emphasize that this is not a paid position. Also, the office of the WiR is still active within the State Archives.
