Description: With the growing acknowledgment of the contribution of cultural institutions and allied partners to the Wikimedia Movement, many of the former have opted for the expertise of a Wikimedian in Residence for a number of reasons. From the outside looking in, a Wikimedian in Residence is an abstract figure and the need for them may raise more questions than answers. From helping to create and foster sustainable relationships between the host institution and the Wikimedia Movement, to customising the nature of participation and contribution by and to the community, no two residences are the same. Through a moderated session. at least 4 WiRs will share their experiences at host institutions and what motivated the need for their presence. This will help the audience: Understand who is a WiR, what is the need and role of Wikimedians in Residence (WiR) in their work with partner institutions? Review the goals, outcomes, and lessons learned from specific WiR projects in their respective talks Discover and share best practices for contributing quality content at scale Discuss and propose future types of collaboration with identified external partners.
