[GLAM] Groam House Museum, Rosemarkie, Scotland

[Sara Thomas]

Hello all,


Just wanted to update you - I've recently completed a piece of work with the Groam House Museum in Rosemarkie in Scotland. Their George Bain collection is a Recognised Collection of National Significance to Scotland, and I was very happy indeed to train a cross section of staff and board to edit Wiki, as well as use the new Pattypan small-GLAM uploader to upload a test batch of images from their collection.


If you'd like to take a look, the images are here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Groam_House_Museum


Loving the Pattypan uploader - can really see how this tool will, if we target it correctly and used in partnership with the visual editor, have the potential to seriously increase smaller GLAM's engagement. Thanks to all involved!


Best,

Sara Thomas

Hello Sara,

Thank you! We're thrilled to see Pattypan used! And with Book of Kells
images :-)

Please send any improvement ideas our way (one of them is a 'cheat-sheet'
of popular templates, licenses etc in wikicode - all other suggestions are
highly welcome).

You can track our progress (and see who's contributed so far) here:

The Pattypan overall uploads category is here:

Sara, would you mind adding our name here? You've done a lot for our
project already :-)

Thank you!

Sara, these are fabulous! I have a lot of George Bain fans in my circle.
They will love these.
