Description: In this session, you will learn from: 1. Preservation and Rescue Balinese Traditional Manuscripts on Balinese Wikisource The Balinese people keep an inheritance of knowledge in the form of traditional manuscripts known as Lontar. Lontar is a manuscripts written on palm leaves in Balinese script that provides Balinese knowledge such as medicine, astronomy, history, and so on. The current lontars that the community has inherited are in poor condition and require maintenance. Lontar's rescue requires a large platform and coordinated movement. The Denpasar Wikimedia community began with the WikiLontar project, which resulted in the conservation of many palm lontars in Bali. The lontars are cleaned, identified and digitized so that future generations of Balinese can enjoy them. The difficulties are considerable. Starting with convincing the owner, Lontar's numerous conditions, and the lengthy procedure. Wikisource The saved Lontar Bali found a "new home" on Bali. Wikisource not only saves Lontar images, but it also allows the next generation to learn more about Lontar by reading, typing, and identifying Lontar. The existence of Wikisource as a new home for Lontar Bali is a new source of optimism for Bali's digital lontar life. 2. Wikisource & its growing love for manuscripts Wikisource, a sister project of Wikipedia, is a transcription platform and a free online library of public domain and CC-licensed texts. It is one of the largest collaborative library which support over 70 languages around the world. In past years, we have seen Wikisource growing into the core infrastructure for some of the marginalized language communities. This session will start with an introduction to Wikisource and the associated workflow. The rest of the session will focus on Wikisource Loves Manuscripts (WiLMa) project. We will share learnings from the WiLMa pilot in Indonesia, including the collaboration with the British Library. Finally, we will end the session updates related to the WiLMa Learning Partners Network.		Experience level: Beginner

Description: The world loses irreplaceable pieces of knowledge all the time due to wars, fires, natural disasters, and other crises, especially in museums, libraries, and archives, but also external objects such as monuments. As the world's largest and most available source of knowledge, the Wikimedia movement and its projects have not only the ability but also the duty, to share those objects and safeguard them. In this panel, we intend to show how we can accomplish that together, why it is important, what are the accessibility challenges and how we can advocate to overcome them. In order to safeguard those objects, the country where those objects are situated should have Copyright Laws that allow not only allows proper digitization and documentation, but also policies that allow the sharing of reproductions, such as Freedom of Panorama, Open Licenses guidelines, and other Copyright considerations, which are all accomplished by Copyright Reforms. The presentations for this session are planned to introduce the importance of the topic, share ideas and challenges both from the Cultural Heritage and Advocacy sides and find pathways of collaboration.
