Getting Started for GLAMs

This page in a nutshell: Culture-sector professionals are encouraged to contribute to Wikipedia. Since it's not always easy to know how to contribute correctly, this page provides a centralised place to find relevant advice and to seek specific assistance.

Welcome to Wikipedia! If you are a museum curator, conservator-restorer, librarian, archivist, art historian, heritage interpreter, conservator, documentation manager, subject specialist, manager of an academic special collection (or similar profession) in a cultural institution and you want to participate in Wikipedia in your professional capacity, then this page is for you.

As someone professionally affiliated with an institution in the cultural sector (such as a museum, library, archive, public art gallery or similar) you are a custodian of our cultural heritage, which places you in a unique position to improve Wikipedia. Our goal is to provide access to knowledge freely (gratis and libre), and your expertise and institution's collection are welcome and necessary if we are to achieve that goal.
