WMB has a long and expressive history with GLAM-Wiki partnerships. Throughout the years, we have established more than 40 new partnerships with cultural institutions from different states in Brazil. On October 4th of 2022 we created a new GLAM-Wiki partnership with the National Institute of Mata Atlântica (INMA).[1] This institute is headquartered in Santa Teresa, Espírito Santo, and promotes research, scientific innovation, preserving collections, and disseminating knowledge related to the Mata Atlântica. The partnership was born in the context of the Wiki Loves Espírito Santo project, conducted in 2022 in collaboration with the Secretary of Culture of the State of Espírito Santo.

At the end of March, we edited more than 38 thousand items on Wikidata[2] and uploaded 10 thousand images of this GLAM to Wikimedia Commons.[3] The images and metadata were about the flora of the State of Espírito Santo, specifically from the Herbário Museu de Biologia Mello Leitão Collection.

Another massive upload this quarter was the insertion of 32 thousand identifiers for paintings, objects, and items of the Museu Paulista collection.[4] The museum, with which we have had a remarkable GLAM-Wiki partnership since 2017, reopened in September 2022 and has recently launched its new online platform using the Tainacan technology. This software allowed us to do a quick extraction of the metadata and reconcile it with the items already on Wikidata. This easy-to-do extraction will help in future reconciliation from and to both the institution and Wikimedia projects, a process known as data roundtripping.

In February, WMB started to reactivate most of its GLAM-Wiki partnerships. For that, WMB developed a GLAM Newsletter specific for each partner with information about the partnership, such as media views and usage of the images of the collections, to be sent every two months. Because not all of our partnerships are yet in the GLAM Wiki Dashboard, we were not able to share with the partners the accurate reports provided by the platform, so we had to create the reports ourselves. Multiple partnerships were reactivated by that and new sets of images were uploaded throughout the first and second quarter of the year.

These newsletters have been a good opportunity to understand the collections dissemination and the partnership reach. Partnerships with low usage on Wikipedia, for example, are being integrated into activities such as edit-a-thons and workshops. In the first quarter, 60 newsletters were sent[18][19]
