  • Learning about new cultural heritage organizations and their registries
  • Learning about the types of historic sites people are interested in, based on what is submitted and used across Wikimedia sites
  • Ways that people are interested in both capturing and consuming historical and cultural heritage, particularly in the context of current events
  • New and growing technologies that are being used to capture historic sites (e.g. drones, panoramas, photo spheres, etc.)
