dear all i have been working on selecting some images about GLAMwiki events-institutions-projects (and I created a subcategory with a selection of some of the documentation uploaded from Switzerland). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Selection_photos_GLAMWiki
i have the feeling images are often needed (for presentations, webpages, leaflets). please help yourself and do not hesitate to add strongly communicative images (i didn't include stand-up group photos because they are fan for us but maybe not so significant for GLAMs). below some comments and thanks to all the people who made these photos! iolanda / iopensa ---> my comments and highlights: (please not that i do not mention photos which are already extensively used on our GLAM webpages) Extraordinary "Soumaya Editathon 50 hours of art"! Of course I didn't see everything, but please allow me to point out the astonishing (and extremely photogenic) project "Soumaya Editathon 50 hours of art" on the artists and collections that preserves the Soumaya Museum in Mexico. I have the feeling this experience has not been absorbed by our community sufficiently: it is an incredible format and congratulations to the organizers to making it happen (not an easy one) and creating a real visual story. the WMF blog presents the experience[1], but i think the asset of this event is the visual beauty of it we can all benefit from (it really expresses the link between content, community and the concept of a museum opening up to Wikipedia and to all). Some examples: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Segundo_Editatón_Soumaya_Abierto_-_Dia_dos_-_34.JPG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Segundo_Editatón_Soumaya_Abierto_-_Dia_tres_-_11.JPG here the category if you want to see more https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Editatón_Soumaya_Abierto._50_horas_de_arte very convincing this image with the word "wikipedia" on the panel by Christoph Braun https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:QRpedia_Stele,_MHG,_Hamburg,_Deutschland_IMG_5448_edit.jpg (bravo!) very cool the image of Archeowiki project in Italy with many students engaged in the project https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evento_finale_Archeowiki_05.JPG (i'm a fan of Niccolò Caranti photos - also this one i think it is very strong https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Europeana_Fashion_Editathon_2013_Stra_04.JPG) a good one to show the involvement of wikipedians in taking photos by Adokador https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedyści_przy_pracy_-_Przykuta_%26_Ludmiła_Pilecka.jpg this photo is not perfect but it works well to show the digitalization process (and a herbarium is pretty unusual and fascinating) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Herbarium_making_of-IMG_6752.jpg here one which shows how archives are really closed and separated from all of us unless online https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schweizerische_Nationalbibliothek_-_Magazin_1.jpg I have noticed that the photos of the institutions (the outdoor-building) are not always great. I think a presentation of all the institutions contributing to the Wikimedia projects (just one strong photo of the building from the outside) could be really impressive: you show the outdoor to focus on how the Wikimedia projects allow you to step inside the building (often extremely monumental buildings) and browse/use/disseminate the inside, taking in a determinant way the inside out.
