Projects Grant Proposal: Smithsonian Wikimedian-in-Residence for Gender Representation

I wanted to give you a heads-up about a proposal I submitted to establish a Wikimedian-in-Residence for the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative to catalyze the cultural heritage sector to increase the representation of women on Wikimedia projects while also developing evidence for Smithsonian senior leadership to make an Open Knowledge Coordinator role permanent. The Smithsonian is investing heavily in increasing the resources about women across its 19 museums and 9 research centers and we would like to develop, test, and share models for making these resources more widely available online. I welcome your feedback and hope we can figure out ways to partner to increase the number of African American volunteers and articles! --Digitaleffie (talk) 14:11, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
