Subj: [icom-cc-ethno] records  in ethnographic museums made accessible by 
Wikipedia?

Hello: I thought I would pass on these interesting potential developments  
for ethnographic collections in storage - The text is from the latest issue of  
the ICME Newsletter No. 49, accessible here: _http://museumsnett.http://m_ 
(http://museumsnett.no/icme/)  .  Membership in ICME is open to anyone, feel free 
to sign up to their group!  Carole 
WORDS FROM THE [ICME] PRESIDENT 
In October at the direction of the ICOM Secretariat, I was contacted by  
Prof. Raoul Weiler, member of the Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation.  
Earlier in the fall in Taiwan, Professor Weiler made a proposal to Advisory  
Board to incorporate uniform records of collections in ethnographic museums  
worldwide, especially the objects in the storage.  
The initiative is provisionally titled "Compilation of Ethnographic Objects  
from Museum Reserves." The underlying premise of Weiler's proposal is the oft  
repeated motion that "cultural diversity … is threatened at high speed."  
Through developing uniform documentation records that would be centralized by  
Wikipedia it is thought that information about collections could be better  
accessed.  
Weiler envisions that this initiative would be a contribution~Weiler 
envisions that this initiative would be a contribution~<WBR>toward  safeguarding 
cultural heritage, already a primary mandates of all museums. A  meeting to discuss 
the Wikipedia proposal was convened in Paris in December.  Attending the 
meeting were representatives of UNESCO, ICOM, the Wikimedia  Foundation, Wikipedia 
France, and Dr. Weiler of the Wikipedia Advisory Board.  The representative 
of the World Bank was unable to attend. Carla Bonomi of the  ICOM Secretariat 
represented ICME in place of me or any ICME Board member. A  report outlining 
the December discussion and   
For this initiative, Wikipedia is seeking support from UNESCO, ICOM, ICME  
and private sources.
