WikiConference North America 2019 Photo Drive
As part of WikiConference North America 2019, we are hosting a Photo Drive to take photos throughout Boston and Cambridge. This large gathering of Wikimedians presents a great opportunity to help photograph and cover the region on the Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, and Wikidata.

Suggestions on what to photograph throughout the day:
- Landmarks

Do be mindful of copyright laws regarding artworks. Refer to Canada's freedom of panorama laws when photographing 3D public artwork; you may photograph buildings, as well as "a sculpture or work of artistic craftsmanship or a cast or model of a sculpture or work of artistic craftsmanship, that is permanently situated in a public place or building".
Tools and lists
- National Register of Historic Places listings in northern Boston
- National Register of Historic Places listings in southern Boston
- Wiki Loves Monuments map of historic sites
- Wiki ShootMe!, a map tool that shows what locations are missing an image on Wikidata. Refer to the manual for more information.
- iNaturalist, a mobile app for crowdsourcing identification of plants, animals and nature. You can designate your photos as Commons compatible (CC0, CC-BY) and a special script can load these to Commons.
