Would you like to collaborate with a National Archives subject specialist on an article project? Let us know
Please invite editors who you feel might be interested in this project.
Welcome to the United States National Archives WikiProject on the English Wikipedia! This is a project focused on sharing the National Archives' resources with the public and improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives. Our goal is to foster collaboration between Wikimedia projects and the National Archives in order to make cultural works more discoverable to the public. We intend to do this through the creation of related Wikipedia content and digitization of materials on Commons and Wikisource. Please make suggestions for accomplishing this goal on the talk page.
WikiXDC - Wikipedia 10th anniversary celebration and one-day symposium
On May 24, 2011, Liam Wyatt spoke at the William G. McGowan Theater of the National Archives building in D.C. This event was followed by a meetup of local Wikimedians with NARA staff attending.
This project can use volunteers interested in a range of tasks, whether it is intensive tasks like research and article work, or less intensive tasks like tagging and categorizing. This is a cross-project effort taking place on Wikipedia, Wikisource, and Commons. If you have any special skills, such as programming, proficiency with templates, digital image expertise, or fluency with multiple languages, please note it when you sign up.
Less intensive tasks
Wikipedia/article-related
Help recruit new members.
Tag and assess articles related to the National Archives' collection using {{WPNARA}}. "Related" articles include those documents held by the National Archives (e.g., Webster–Ashburton Treaty) as well as creators or subjects of documents (e.g., Louisiana Purchase), if the holdings of the National Archives have major significance for them in some way.
If possible, include the document's ARC Identifier (template parameter "ARC=") when tagging.
Compile a list of existing National Archives media for which high-quality scans should be obtained.
Commons/media-related
Use the pictures! Add new media to pages, on all projects, where appropriate
Files are being uploaded as TIFFs in most cases. Help convert these to JPEG (for still pictures), DjVu (for text), OGG (for audio), or OGV (for video). Remember to link the two versions using the "|Other versions=" parameter.
Identify and tag any existing low-quality duplicates of new high-quality material with {{superseded}} and replace the files on any projects where they are in use.
If you are working on an article related to a document held by the National Archives, we may be able to find a subject specialist willing to collaborate with you.
Where appropriate, nominate National Archives media for featured status.
Digitally restore any National Archives media from the high-quality TIFFs.
Where appropriate, nominate National Archives media for featured status.
Requested articles/expansions
Archival Recovery Team — these are the people, including federal agents, whose job it is to seek out lost and stolen National Archives documents. They have received media attention, but have no article, or even a mention in a more general article. If someone would like to write about it, I can put even put you in contact with one of the members of the team for reference (though this should be at all times the independent work of a Wikipedian to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest). Some news sources include: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Dominic·t 19:36, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
These are any remaining documents with their own articles, articles for which a document is a major component or source, and articles about important NARA facilities, agencies, or people.
