Scope

[edit]

This project aims to coordinate the sharing of resources between the Delaware Art Museum (DelArt) and the Wikimedia community. The DelArt's mission as a museum aligns closely with Wikipedia’s goal to provide "free access to the sum of all human knowledge." The museum has extensive collections of paintings and other artworks focusing on Pre-Raphaelite painting, American Illustration, especially on the work of Howard Pyle and N.C. Wyeth, John French Sloan, and on American painting since 1800.

Plans

[edit]
  • to upload images of much of the material in the public domain in the museum's collections
  • to explore the uploading of images of much of the work of John French Sloan, which has copyrights owned by the museum
  • to train staff and others how they can add material to Wikipedia according to our rules and without violating Conflict of Interest guidelines
  • to write articles on DelArt related topics
  • to illustrate articles with images donated by DelArt and to properly categorize these images at Wikimedia Commons
  • to create a proper gallery of DelArt images at Commons
  • to create all the proper user boxes, project tags, etc. in order to keep track of project statistics.
