Welcome to the project page of Expedition Wikipedia! This project is mainly conducted with Dutch partners and in the Dutch language; its main information portal can therefore be found on the Dutch Wikipedia.
This page provides a short summary of the project's activities, with highlights relevant to English speakers.
The project Expedition Wikipedia takes place in 2014. Under guidance of the Dutch Foundation for Academic Heritage (SAE), several Dutch Universities and the Tropenmuseum donate digitized materials from their collections to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. These digitized objects, mainly related to (historic) scientific expeditions, will be offered for (historical, geographical...) contextualization and for use in encyclopedic articles on Wikipedia.
A Wikipedian in Residence supports the participating institutions.
