Description: In 2021, a group of museum volunteers in collaboration with Wikimedia Argentina designed a booklet on editing Wikipedia. This pedagogic material explored how the way of understanding museums mission has been changing through the years, resulting on a more collaborative and close to communitys knowledge production process. This idea of a dynamic heritage and participative culture promoted volunteer's conversation on how Wikipedia could help achieve this new horizons, resulting in the booklet. This session proposes the presentation of the booklet by Angie Cervellera, the Culture and Open Knowledge manager, and Gaston Santos, volunteer of the project and communication professional in Luis Perlotti Sculpture Museum of Buenos Aires. Angie will present the main topics involved in this booklet and Gaston the main learnings and challenges on being a newcomer Wikipedian. Both will deliver a workshop on how to edit museum contents (heritage, artists) on the encyclopedia, going through some examples and recommendations. Participants will learn about general aspects of museums and Wikipedia synergy; how to successfully engage volunteers on this task; what are the best practices when editing Wikipedia for the first time; how is the editing process and which are the sources museums can provide.
