Wikimedia DC collaborates with cultural institutions, including galleries, libraries, archives, and museums, to promote free knowledge and support digitization and open access projects.
National Archives: With the assistance of their Wikipedian-in-Residence, we have supported several events at the National Archives, including the ExtravaSCANza in 2012. We also work with WikiProject FedFlix, in collaboration with Carl Malamud of public.resource.org and the International Amateur Scanning League, to digitize video and other materials in the holdings of the National Archives and other government agencies. The WikiProject is working to get the video and materials made available on Wikimedia Commons, transcribe them, and available for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. David Ferriero, the Archivist of the United States, was the closing keynote speaker of Wikimania 2012 at George Washington University.
Smithsonian Institution: We work with the Smithsonian Institution to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the Smithsonian Institution, including history and the arts. We are providing mentorship and serving as a liaison between the Smithsonian and the Wikipedia community, and the Smithsonian has held several workshops with the support of Wikimedia DC teaching their staff how to edit Wikipedia. During the summer of 2011, local Wikipedia editor Sarah Stierch served as the Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art (details).
