Collaborations within GLAM projects are primarily for galleries, museums, libraries and archives. Can a cultural institution that does not have its own collections be useful for GLAM projects? How does the diversity of activities undertaken by such institutions affect the diversity of activities in the wiki sphere? Employees of The Wojciech Korfanty Institute will research these ideas and present the innovative project of the mobile digitization centre.
This session will also allow all of the participants to experience Mobile Digitization Centre with its equipment.
The Wojciech Korfanty Institute has been cooperating with the Wikimedia Polska Association for several years. In 2017, a cooperation agreement was signed to jointly work towards open knowledge. Since then, The Wojciech Korfanty Institute organized many events promoting the ideas of Wikipedia. There were workshops, conferences, meetings. These events were most often addressed to other cultural institutions in the region, but not only for them. Open meetings were organized every month where people could edit Wikipedia using the Institute's library.
One of the ideas for cooperation is to use the possibilities offered by the car called MobyDig (from the words mobility and digitalization) at the Institute. It is a vehicle that is equipped with the devices (cameras, scanners, 3d scanners etc.) that allow to digitize any kind of tangible and intangible heritage.
During the presentation, Institute’s employees will present examples of activities related to Wikipedia undertaken over the last few years, then they will present Mobile Digitization Centre and its current and planned use. This part will take the form of a short lecture and presentation. You will then be able to view the car and its equipment.
