{{GLAM/Newsletter/Title|From Al-Ahram to Zamalek: Exploring Archives and Art Galleries|By  [[User:Sohilaali869|Sohila Elshaaer]]}}

===Digitizing Issues of Al-Ahram Newspaper 1968===
​Following our World Archives Day project in June, where we documented historic Royal Egyptian Postage Stamps, GLAM team- Wikimedia Egypt launched a new workshop in July to preserve Egypt’s journalistic heritage.

​Organized by Sohila Elshaaer from July 8 to 20, the team hosted an online workshop to digitize 1968 issues of Al-Ahram newspaper. Participants processed archived materials and uploaded 5 complete daily editions in PDF format to Wikimedia Commons, with each issue ranging from 10 to 13 pages. We also focused on digitizing high-resolution images of the front pages to capture their main headlines.

​Moving forward, we are working on building partnerships to help digitize more of Al-Ahram’s extensive historic archive and make it accessible to everyone.

===​Zamalek Art Galleries 2026===

Ramadan is more than just a month of fasting and prayer, it is a time rich with traditions, stories, and community life across many cultures. In 2026, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wiki Loves Ramadan 2026|Wiki Loves Ramadan]] campaign brought people together worldwide to document and share this heritage on Wikimedia platforms. We are very happy to share our GLAM and metadata impact for this year.
=== Visual Documentation and Metadata Expansion ===
During the campaign, volunteers uploaded 5,607 media files to Wikimedia Commons. This includes photos of historical mosques, traditional foods, and local Eid celebrations from 36 countries.

For structured data, our contributors created 536 new items on Wikidata. We originally targeted 200, so this is a big achievement for us! Now, many underrepresented regional mosques, Islamic centers, and historical tombs in Central Asia, West Africa, and Southeast Asia have proper Q-items. We also added labels and descriptions in regional languages like Arabic, Bangla, Hausa, and Uzbek, so researchers can easily find them.

=== GLAM Partnerships and Local Events ===
In 2026, our local organizers successfully established partnerships with cultural institutions:
* '''Uzbekistan:''' Local Wikimedians partnered with the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent. They hosted offline photo tours to document museum exhibits, manuscript displays, and decorative wall patterns.
* '''Egypt:''' The Ramadan edit-a-thon inspired the Egypt Wikimedians User Group to launch a long-term GLAM project to document the Islamic architectural heritage of Cairo.
* '''Uganda and Guinea:''' Photographers documented historic religious events, including Quran recitation competitions in Conakry and communal Iftar gatherings at local centers.

=== Celebrating Success ===
Our top photo contributions to Commons highlighted significant cultural heritage sites. Mumun96 from Indonesia won 1st prize for documenting Gumeno village's traditional iftar. Abdul Kaium Tito from Bangladesh won 2nd prize for capturing a prayer on a ship deck. Thie Abdoul from Guinea won 3rd prize for a photo of a young girl reading the holy Qur’an. Our top 20 finalists also included beautiful architectural photos from Singapore, Morocco, and UAE.

=== Looking Forward ===
We faced some challenges this year. Many first-time photographers had trouble understanding copyright rules on Commons. Also, many local teams operated with zero budget, which made it hard to cover museum entry fees. In 2027, we hope to provide microgrants and establish earlier partnerships with cultural heritage boards. If your GLAM institution wants to collaborate with us for the next edition, we welcome your partnership!
