Description

Typically, Wikipedians in Residence (WiR) are Wikipedia editors who act as liaisons between the Wikipedia community and an institution, e.g. a university, research organization, or GLAM institution: galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. These positions are sometimes known as Wikimedians in residence—referring to Wikipedia’s parent organization, the Wikimedia Foundation—or Honorary Resident Wikipedians.
