| Description:
In this session, you will learn about the Malayalam Mala Project (from Kerala, India) and One Year of Wiki Loves Música Portuguesa: how a thematic campaign helped create a strategic path for GLAM at Wikimedia Portugal. The Malayalam Mala Project is a Wikimedia initiative to collect and preserve the lyrics of Malayalam malas, which are traditional songs of praise sung by Muslims in Kerala. Malas are a rich part of Kerala's cultural heritage, and they provide a unique way to learn about the history and traditions of the region. The Malayalam Mala Project is part of the GLAM project in Kerala, which is a larger initiative to digitize and preserve Kerala's cultural heritage. The Malayalam Mala Project collected the lyrics from a variety of sources, including manuscripts, published works, and oral tradition. The lyrics will be transcribed into Unicode and uploaded to Wikisource.To bring these malas to life, the project encouraged singers from the local community to record and share their renditions of these odes. These audio recordings will be made available in Wikimedia Commons, ensuring wider accessibility and preserving these traditional melodies for future generations. The campaign Wiki Loves Música Portuguesa launched in November 2022. The project was developed as an aggregator: on one hand, it would leverage the ongoing Wikimedian residency at NOVA FCSH; on the other hand, the wide scope of the project could enhance other partnerships for Wikimedia Portugal, particularly regarding cultural heritage. Indeed, the initiative sparked multiple partnerships with other institutions, including Portugal's national public service broadcaster, amongst others, revolutionizing the work at WMPT. In this session, we will showcase our biggest achievements, reflect on the biggest challenges we faced and get feedback from the GLAM Wiki community on how we can do better. |

Capacity Exchange: Peer Learning and Sharing for GLAM Initiatives | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Facilitators/Speakers: Andi Inácio | Time block: Afternoon | Beginning: 13:30 | |
| Location: 410 | Duration: 1hr | ||
| Description:
The Capacity Exchange is an initiative developing a platform for peer-to-peer connection and capacity building within the Wikimedia Movement. The session aims to discuss peer learning and sharing as a strategy for community-based capacity building around GLAM initiatives. Such a perspective focuses on the decentralized exchange of knowledge-skills-services, rather than centralized training and knowledge transference, as a methodology for the Global Approach for Local Skill Development. Participants attending the session will be able to input needs and perspectives regarding community capacity building. The main take-away is the exchange of experience regarding sociotechnical issues and solutions for GLAM-focused peer learning and sharing. |

| Location: 410 | Duration: 1 hr | ||
| Description:
By the time the conference rolls around, we should have an Alpha version of our new Flickypedia tool ready for people to try. We would like to have a workshop to show the group the new release, and to talk more broadly about what people are thinking about the following topics: Flickr2Commons, Using Flickr, Using Wikimedia Commons, Structured Data on Commons, how CC licensing is evolving, and in general some hopes and dreams for the next decade or so. We hope the session would be quite relaxed and conversational, and we'd prepare an agenda ahead of time. It will be a good opportunity to do broader outreach too, about the Flickr Foundation, and its very long term goals. Participants will gain:

GLAM around Latin America: case studies from big institutions | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Facilitators/Speakers: Mauricio Genta, Alicia Laszlo, Lilian Viana, Irene Tobón Restrepo | Time block: Afternoon | Beginning: 14:30 | |
| Location: Auditorium | Duration: 1 hr | ||
| Description:
Show this session for a showcase of case studies from big institutions from Latin America. 1. Colaboración entre el Archivo General de la Nación (Argentina) y Wikimedia Argentina This session will present the first collaboration between the National Archives of Argentina and Wikimedia Argentina, the local chapter. Both institutions have been working for more than a year in the digitization of 21 boxes of photographs from the publisher "Caras y Caretas", the case will show the view of this first work from both sides. 2. GLAM Bibliotecas da USP It presents the GLAM Wiki USP Libraries, a Brazilian academic libraries project and the different axes of action in this initiative created in 2020: editing articles about researchers on Wikipedia , cataloguing scientific articles on Wikidata, creating metadata to link libraries repositories and catalogues to Wikidata, training student in media and information literacy activities using Wikipedia Project page: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:GLAM/Bibliotecas_da_USP. Participants will know initiatives developed by academic libraries with Wikimedia projects on the axes: information organization and education. We hope to discuss the potential of library activities with Wikimedia projects and help participants to identify possible activities to carry on in their contexts. 3. The Banrepcultural Encyclopedia: A digital encyclopedia of Colombian cultural heritage, born from the collaboration of visitors to the Banco de la República Libraries The Banrepcultural.org Encyclopedia is a virtual digital publication that seeks to expand knowledge about Colombian cultural heritage on the web to promote the diversity of knowledge about Colombia. We believe that, as individuals and as cultural institutions, we have a responsibility to lead and support initiatives that seek to reduce these gaps in access to knowledge. Is a free access publication and, although the edition is closed, since its origin, in 1995, a good part of its contents are generated at the request of our readers, which we collect through crowdsourcing campaigns. Although it was born under the name Ayuda de Tareas and was dedicated to general themes, as of 2017 its content has specialized in Colombian cultural heritage. In that year, it was renamed “La Enciclopedia…”, and it was implemented in the MediaWiki manager. With this relaunch, new calls were created for the generation of information through thematic projects such as Colombianas Notables, which was supported by a collective strategy focused on listing the essential names of women relevant to the country's history, and later commissioning their writing. Same with the Rio project and Bicentennial project. It currently has more than 2,000 articles and biographies, born from original research that we have commissioned from specialists, both members of the Bank and external. Some biographies have also been translated into English. In this new phase we want to integrate La Enciclopedia with the tools and projects of the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia and Wikidata, to boost their discoverability, as well as expand collaborative projects to translate articles into other languages and the indigenous languages of the country. We will start with the commission to create articles on the region of La Giajura and the Wayúu culture, which will be published in Spanish and in the Wayúunaiki language, in collaboration with the Wikipeetia (the wayuunaiki Wikipedia) team. |

| Description:
Librarians, archivists, museum professionals, and knowledge workers are having to rapidly adapt to new forms of inquiry brought on by Artificial Intelligence (AI). From the fears of biased AI hallucinations to the fascination of AI enhancement, knowledge workers are in critical need of the skills and knowledge to navigate the AI turn aptly. However, as AI advances rapidly, GLAM workers often feel overwhelmed with the bulks of information that requires to be processed. Informed by the learning spaces of digital humanities institutions, that bridge the gaps between manual and computer-assisted methods, this workshop will map the questions, tools, readings, and learning spaces techniques that could be operationalized by GLAM workers to create reference learning spaces for the discussion (and learning) of AI’s potentials and dangers towards culture and heritage. This workshop will be guided by practitioners with experience designing digital humanities learning spaces as well as library-led, and museum-centered seminars and discussion groups. We will bring this expertise together so that participants return to their institutions with the building blocks to create relevant syllabi, and design discussion groups, as well as AI experimentation workshops that address common questions around AI in GLAMs. |
