In this presentation, Indiana State Library's Digital Initiatives director Justin Clark will discuss how collections from Indiana Memory and Hoosier State Chronicles, among others, have been added to Wikimedia Commons, improving existing Wikipedia pages and expanding access to digitized images. He'll also discuss ISL's public programming to coincide with these collections, including participating and hosting Wiki Edit-a-Thons for historians and librarians. In sum, attendees will learn about Indiana Memory and Hoosier State Chronicles as digital repositories, their integration with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), and ultimately their use on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, and how said initiatives can be used for public educational events.
