My name is Gavin Willshaw. I live in Portobello and work as the Digitisation and Digital Engagement Manager at the University of Edinburgh Library. I was previously the Mass Digitisation Manager at the National Library of Scotland and Digital Curator at the University of Edinburgh.
I have run Wikipedia Editathons at Edinburgh University (2018) and in Portobello (2018, 2019), and have arranged informal sessions for 1lib1ref at the University of Edinburgh and the National Library of Scotland.
I also ran a large Wikisource for the National Library of Scotland. Project details: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:WikiProject_NLS
I occasionally add links to news stories to the Portobello wikipedia page.
Current focus: proofeading the Annals of Duddingston and Portobello on Wikisource
editMy limited Wikimedia editing time is currently being devoted to proofreading the Annals of Duddingston and Portobello on Wikisource: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Annals_of_Duddingston_and_Portobello.pdf
I intend to fully proofread the book by 31/07/2022
