WikiProject GLAM/Delaware Art Museum will serve as the hub for all Wikipedia community events, content work, and community collaboration on articles related to the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware and related topics.

Scope

This project aims to coordinate the sharing of resources between the Delaware Art Museum (DelArt) and the Wikimedia community. The DelArt's mission as a museum aligns closely with Wikipedia’s goal to provide "free access to the sum of all human knowledge." The museum has extensive collections of paintings and other artworks focusing on Pre-Raphaelite painting, American Illustration, especially on the work of Howard Pyle and N.C. Wyeth, John French Sloan, and on American painting since 1800.

Plans

to upload images of much of the material in the public domain in the museum's collections
to explore the uploading of images of much of the work of John French Sloan, which has copyrights owned by the museum
to train staff and others how they can add material to Wikipedia according to our rules and without violating Conflict of Interest guidelines
to write articles on DelArt related topics
to illustrate articles with images donated by DelArt and to properly categorize these images at Wikimedia Commons
to create a proper gallery of DelArt images at Commons
to create all the proper user boxes, project tags, etc. in order to keep track of project statistics.
