Topics will range from the recovery and preservation of a historical photographic archive shared between Italy and Switzerland, to the use of Wikidata for documenting and exploring musical instruments and their multilingual classifications. Other sessions will look at how digital scholarly editions can be connected to Wikimedia projects, and how cultural institutions can make their collections more accessible and reusable through open knowledge platforms. The programme will also include practical opportunities for discussion and collaboration: a workshop on Wikimedia Italia's GLAM grant programme will help participants turn project ideas into concrete proposals, while a session on ''Note condivise'' will explore ways to share and reuse musical heritage through Wikimedia projects and engage the community in the process. An open meeting of the Wikidata Group for Museums, Archives and Libraries (GWMAB), a Data Round-tripping project meeting and a roundtable with representatives of cultural institutions, universities and public administrations will provide further opportunities to exchange ideas and discuss what makes GLAM-Wiki partnerships work. From historical archives to structured data, and from institutional partnerships to community engagement, itWikiCon 2026 promises to be an excellent opportunity to connect people and ideas around open cultural heritage. === Turano Archaeo Survey === [[File:Necropolis at Fontanelle.jpg|thumb|Excavation of the necropolis at Fontanelle]] The Turano Archaeo Survey is an archaeological research and field school project exploring the archaeological heritage and historical landscape of the Turano Valley, in the province of Rieti, central Italy. Through field surveys, scientific research and student training, the project aims to document and promote the area's cultural heritage. In July, Wikimedia Italia partnered with the project to help bring its research findings to a wider audience through Wikimedia projects. A two-day workshop introduced six university students to the Wikimedia platforms, covering Wikipedia editing, reliable sources, copyright, free licences and the use of images to document archaeological heritage. The students then put their new skills into practice, creating and improving articles in both Italian and English. The initiative brought together students from the University of Rome Tor Vergata and Durham University, alongside researchers and local partners. It was coordinated by Piergiovanna Grossi, with Jennifer Boakye, Wikimedia Italia's Schools and Universities Coordinator for Lazio, supporting the students and connecting their work with the Wikimedia community. <br /> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=October 2026}}</noinclude> q4ft3g8yfh4n0jgg306qrhl6k1epho7 280172 280171 2026-11-03T08:43:46Z Marta Arosio (WMIT) 24130 280172 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude>{{:GLAM/Newsletter/October 2026/Header}}</noinclude> {{GLAM/Newsletter/Title|ItWikiCon and the Turano Archaeological Survey|By [[User:Marta Arosio (WMIT)|Marta Arosio]]}} === GLAM-Wiki at ItWikiCon 2026 === [[File:ItWikiCon 2025 - Group photos 03.jpg|thumb|ItWikuCion 2025 in Catania]] The upcoming ItWikiCon 2026, taking place next week in Vezia, Switzerland, will feature a rich programme of sessions on GLAM-Wiki collaborations, bringing together Wikimedians, cultural institutions and researchers to share experiences and explore new opportunities.
