GLAM

Museu Paulista GLAM initiative

The Museu Paulista of the University of São Paulo (commonly known as Museu do Ipiranga) is one of the largest and best known Brazilian museums.

Objective	Mid-point outcome	Comment	Reference
200-500 image upload	149 high-resolution image upload	The pilot has been successful. We are facing technical challenge and as funding has not been made available we are lacking training to deal with specific database the museum uses.	[1]
150 articles created or improved in Portuguese	Images are used in 252 articles / 13 articles were created, 649 articles were edited on topics pertaining to this GLAM initiative	As discussed with Alex Stinson (GLAM/WMF), the connection of an education program and a GLAM initiative could become a reference case-study for the global community.	[2][3]
at least 150 new users registered onto the projects	151 new users registered	As expected.	[4]
at least 70 audio files uploaded to the Commons, providing an audio description of paintings (as part of education program and outreach activity)	Not done yet	In process, with support from the educational team of Museu Paulista
one edit-a-thon, to be held in September, during the celebration of the Independence of Brazil (as part of outreach activity)	Not done	As we have not received funding on time this activity had to be cancelled
at least 6 media pieces on the GLAM initiative	one media piece	As we have not received funding we were unable to develop a professional strategy for outreach. A major magazine has anyway done a special issue on our work.	[5]

Museu da Educação e do Brinquedo

This initiative was cancelled, as the museum is temporarily closed, as the university building where it is located has major cracks, which put the public at risk.

Unexpected outcomes on GLAMs

• Launch of a totem with a video presenting the UG GLAM initiative with the Museum of Veterinary Anatomy.

• P&E Dashboard report

P&E Dashboard training

The UG has led the pilot launching of new functionalities of the P&E Dashboard. In association with Sage Ross, from the Wiki Edu Foundation, the UG has been able to enable automated edits associated to programs and events on Wikipedia in Portuguese. The UG has also been in touch with the French community to have these functionalities enabled on Wikipedia in French.

The UG has been active in the report of bugs and the request of improvements on the P&E Dashboard, in direct liaison with Sage Ross.

The expected training on the P&E Dashboard will be produced once funding of the Simple APG is received.

Unexpected outcomes in education

• Partnership with Anisio Teixeira Institute to present Wikipedia in Education programs in two sessions.
• Support of UNICAMP-Profis education program on Basic Physics. Instructor was recruited in outreach activity organized by UG in March, with around 100 students.
