Wikimania 2011[edit]Held in Haifa, Israel, The Information Center for Israeli Art lectured at the Wikimania conference opening up a conversation on collaborations between Israeli museums and Wiki via GLAM. The lecture was entitled: "Transparency: The Art of Information Sharing - Museum Artist files on Wikipedia" (submission here. It was a wonderful way to open the floor to the Wikipedians in the lecture to share in the task of documenting art from Israel and specifically Israeli artists catalogued at the Information Center for Israeli Art at The Israel Museum. What is an artist file? An artist file consists of material relating to an individual artist. These files are among the most valued and heavily used resources in art research facilities. They include all relevant information pertaining to the artist - artwork, bibliographical information, education, artwork, exhibitions, reviews, newspaper clippings and much more. The Information Center for Israeli Art at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem has catalogued Israeli artists' information since 1975. As of April 2010 the physical files have been moved into a digital environment and are accessible via the in-house database. This bilingual Hebrew and English database provides limited accessibility as only by visiting the museum can you explore the full wealth of material. To date the Israeli art database consists of 12,000 Israeli artists with over 4500 linked works of art, thousands of newspaper articles, 13,000 exhibition invitations, 700 videos and a listing of thousands of published catalogues and books referencing each artist. With the help of a joint project between the Information Center for Israeli Art and Wikipedia it became be possible to:

2011 Past events[edit]
November 16, 2011, Wikipedia and GLAM at the 8th "Digital Heritage Conference" EVA/Minerva 2011, Jerusalem[edit]
Wikimania 2012[edit]Held at the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C., The Information Center for Israeli Art particpated on Friday, July 13, 2012 in a GLAM Outreach session entitled: Wiki, Women and Museums: The makings of a successful GLAM-WIKI project (submission here). In support of our goal of sharing the archives and photos from the Israel Museum we have been working alongside Wikimedia to make our collections available online. During the Wikimania Haifa 2011 conference we presented our hopes and dreams for the GLAM-WIKI project at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. We are pleased to report back on the many levels of success which resulted from this collaboration. The Information Center for Israeli Art at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem was the focus of the project with our goal of creating 50 articles on Israeli artists in Hebrew and English. In addition over 300 images of Israeli artwork were uploaded to WikiCommons. A unique aspect of the project turned out to be the many women involved, an involvement which took many forms. First, the project was run by women on both the Museum end (myself) and Wikimedia Israel end (Shani Evenstine, who served as the project coordinator and contact person with the museum); the center staff and volunteers were mostly women, many of whom are retirees. Women from the Israeli Wikpedia community were involved and contributed to the project, as well as new women interested in the project from the public. The women artists' wiki-articles were an added bonus. In short women shined! While these milestones were part of the project goals, there were many unexpected successes that can be noted:
See here some of the photos below as well as a link to the filmed proceedings. In addition the speech was noted in the article entiteld Geek Feminism Wiki - Women at Wikimania 2012 [2]. 2012 BBC Interivew[edit]So excited to see an article entitled Wikipedia: Meet the men and women who write the articles [3] where Allison Kupietzky is interviewed. When asked what were her motivation for writing in Wikipedia she answered "Improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Israel Museum and giving people the opportunity to learn about things that are not connected to the political differences here." EVA / MINERVA 2012[edit]During November 2012, during the session on Open Cultural Heritage Projects & Wikipedia at the Jerusalem Conference on the Digitisation of Cultural Heritage at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, Dr. Allison Kupietzky & Yair Talmor [Wiki in Residence] spoke of GLAM-Wiki Study Cases - Best Practices at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. The session was chaired by Shani Evenstein. The lecture focused on GLAM and The Israel Museum involvement in the "Wiki Loves" photography competition and was entitled *Wiki Loves Everyone (and Monuments)". The Museum was one of the sponsors of the Wiki Loves Monuments project: an international photography competition, open to the general public. The Israel Museum viewed this as an opportunity to give impetus to the project of documenting Israeli art in the public space, and it urged the public to participate in the Museum's efforts to preserve and disseminate the country's art treasures. This opportunity will enabled amateur photographers to capture and preserve works of art in public spaces – on city streets, in public gardens, in public institutions – and at the same time to offer an up to date picture of the condition of these monuments in order to encourage their preservation and renovation. In this way, participants became partners in the work of The Israel Museum's Information Center for Israeli Art. The list of environmental sculptures and cultural heritage sites throughout Israel was compiled by a team of curators and staff from the Information Center with a focus on the 2000 artists whose works are represented in the Museum's collections. The presentation if available here. As part of the GLAM IMJ events, the Information Center for Israeli Art at the Israel Museum, organized a tour of public art in Holon. The tour was led by Yair Talmor from the Information Center for Israeli Art, and gave the public an opportunity to join the photography contest of "Wiki Loves Public Art". The contest details are noted here. One of the most positive outcomes of our involvement in the three "Wiki Loves" photography contests was the creation by the Information Center for Israeli Art of a List of public art in Israel. The list is based on the Information Center research and we hope will serve as the basis for a more complete list as more information and image continue to be added to the list all the time. Our involvement in Wiki Loves Monuments in Israel, the sister photography contest, continued from 2012 through 2014.

GLAMTLV2018[edit]Talk: Israeli Outdoor Art in Wikidata: Applicable and Re-Usable Data Dr. Allison Kupietzky, Yair Talmor Affiliation: The Israel Museum, Jerusalem The Information Center for Israeli Art (an extension of the Israel Museum) is the largest collection of primary resources documenting the history of Israeli Art. Over 13,000 artists' files are housed in the Center in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Currently we have 20,000 linked works of art. We treat this database as an extension of the galleries – keeping up with standards and maintaining accurate bilingual data. With the help of Wikidata, we hope to parse the data so that it can be better managed and the information can be harnessed for secondary uses within maps and applications. Examples of such uses can be already found in Crotos and Histropedia. Additionally, the resulting data would allow for smart queries using SPARQL endpoints that would support mapping, with the goal of creating fluid applications for the public and tourists. The promised SPARQL query This project has been completed with the help of Maarten Dammers. Below are links to YouTube clips of a think tank meeting where our interns were tasked with defining the impact of linking data and social participation: Noa: Educators as user Why How Results Esther: Tourists as user Why How Results Talia: Researchers as user Why How Results
Wiki Editing 2019 - Into Many Languages!![edit]Today, 10.7.2019, at the Israel Museum we hosted Curatorial Studies students. Their task was to edited and translate a few articles into many languages including: ChiShona, Bulgarian and Italian.
