Auckland Museum Wiki Workplan

In 2020 Auckland Museum began a more active strategic approach to its engagement with Wikimedia, Wikipedia and Wikidata, with a new Wiki Workplan that enables it to work towards the organisation's [1] Five Year Strategic Plan goals to “reach more people” and “stretch thinking” by leveraging the Museum’s open collections and the wider Wiki ecosystem.

By doing this the Museum is seeking to increase engagement on various Wikimedia platforms focusing on local and global communities, both online and on-site. The end goal is to pivot towards a strategic approach that contributes Museum collections and expertise to increase engagement and contributes to Wikipedia's goals of making knowledge free, open and accessible for all.
