{{GLAM/Newsletter/Title|Thousands of eyes on Brazilian heritage through Wiki Loves Monuments|By [[User:HGodinho (WMB)|HGodinho]]}}

=== Wiki Loves Monumments ===

On the 30th, we concluded the national stage of [[w:pt:Wikipédia:Wiki Loves Monuments 2026/Brasil|Wiki Loves Monuments]], the world's largest photography contest. The initiative turns September into a period dedicated to documenting Brazilian built heritage and monuments to promote their wider dissemination. Collectively, we uploaded 20,225 new photographs to Commons, 1,331 of which were taken during Photo Walks organized through a partnership between Wikimedia Brasil and cultural institutions across the country.

From now on, the Brazilian jury will select 10 photographs for the international stage, where winners from all participating countries will compete. The Brazilian winners will be announced in the first weeks of November, and the international stage winners in mid-February 2027.

Check the [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/WMB/Caminhada_Fotogr%C3%A1fica_WLM_2026 dashboard of the Photo Walks], and the [[commons:Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2026 in Brazil|category with photgoraphs from Brazil]].

=== Edit-a-thon on the history and policies of cultural heritage in Rio de Janeiro! ===

On September 30, a marathon to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles related to cultural heritage took place. The activity was held through a GLAM partnership between Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz and Wikimedia Brasil, and is connected to the upload of books from Oswaldo Cruz's personal library that are part of the institution's collection. The initiative  has already [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Casa_de_Oswaldo_Cruz_-_Fiocruz/Editatona_sobre_hist%C3%B3ria_e_pol%C3%ADticas_do_patrim%C3%B4nio_cultural?enroll=reached reached the milestone of 78 edited articles and 6 created], and remains active until October 31.

See the [[commons:Category:Editatona sobre história e políticas do patrimônio cultural (4ª edição)|photographs of the event]].

=== October Schedule ===

In September 2026, [[w:Czartoryski Library|the Czartoryski Library]] in Kraków, a branch of the National Museum in Kraków and home to one of Poland's most important collections of historical manuscripts, completed the second year of its Wikimedian in Residence programme. The residency, led by [[w:pl:User:MNK Agata|Agata Stadnicka]], began in September 2024 and will continue until 2028.

Over the past year, 354 high-quality reproductions were released on Wikimedia Commons. They include milestones of Polish and Central European history: privileges granted to the nobility by medieval kings, the acts of the [[w:Union of Horodło|Union of Horodło]] (1413) between Poland and Lithuania, the [[w:Treaty of Kraków|Treaty of Kraków]] (1525), the ''[[w:Pacta conventa (Poland)|pacta conventa]]'' of 1573 (the contract every elected king of Poland had to swear to), and documents of the [[w:November Uprising|November Uprising]] against the Russian Empire (1830–1831). Other releases trace the history of the Czartoryski family, whose collections formed the library, from the confirmation of their princely title and the contract founding the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków to the regulations of [[w:Polonezköy|Adampol (Polonezköy)]], a Polish émigré settlement near Istanbul, and family photographs. Illuminated manuscripts complete the picture: Jan Długosz's ''Life of St Kinga'', aphorisms handwritten by [[w:Johann Kaspar Lavater|Johann Kaspar Lavater]] for Princess [[w:Izabela Czartoryska|Izabela Czartoryska]], Persian and Indian ''muraqqaʿ'' albums, and a 19th-century map of Paris released for Wikimania 2026.

The files now illustrate Wikipedia articles in 17 language editions, from English, French and German to Georgian, Turkish and Ukrainian, and one of them accompanies a transcription on Wikisource. New Commons categories and Wikidata entries connect the collection with related holdings worldwide. The library has also joined the [https://glamwikidashboard.wmcloud.org/CLiK GLAM Wiki Dashboard] and Commons Impact Metrics, which make the reach of its files measurable.

We invite Wikimedia contributors to explore the collection, help improve its descriptions and reuse the files across language editions.

=== Polish Wikimedians in Residence Network Meets Online ===

&lt;/gallery&gt;
On 29 September, the network of Polish Wikimedians in Residence met online for the fifth time this year. Facilitated by Kamila Neuman, Open Culture Manager at Wikimedia Polska, these regular peer-learning sessions provide a space for exchanging experiences, discussing common challenges and developing good practices for Wikimedia residencies in cultural institutions.

The meeting brought together Wikimedians in Residence from [[w:National Library of Poland|the National Library of Poland]], [[w:Warsaw Public Library – Central Library of the Masovian Voivodeship|the Warsaw Public Library]], [[w:Czartoryski Library|the Czartoryski Library]] at the National Museum in Kraków and [[w:EC1 Łódź – City of Culture|EC1 Łódź – City of Culture]], as well as Wikimedia Polska staff: Katarzyna Makowska, Open Science Manager, and Maciej Szostek, an experienced Wikimedian in Residence who has completed residencies at [[w:PKO Bank Polski|PKO Bank Polski]] and the Wedel company museum and now provides technical support for GLAM-Wiki partnerships. We were especially glad to welcome two librarians preparing to become Wikimedians in Residence at [[w:pl:Biblioteka Uniwersytecka we Wrocławiu|Wrocław University Library]] and [[w:Nicolaus Copernicus University Library|the University Library in Toruń]], which [[GLAM/Newsletter/April 2026/Contents/Poland report|began cooperating with Wikimedia Polska earlier this year]]. Seeing the network grow was an encouraging experience for the whole group.

After sharing updates from the summer months, participants discussed how to communicate their work more effectively through Wikimedia Polska's news and social media channels. They also heard about a forthcoming editing campaign with the National Museum in Kraków, linked to its exhibition on Dante's ''Divine Comedy'' (more in an upcoming report).

Kamila Neuman then shared highlights from the [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026|August 2026 issue of ''This Month in GLAM'']], and the group considered which solutions from other countries could work in Poland. Participants discussed how a tool like the [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026/Contents/Colombia report|Colombian Public Domain Viewer]], which presents public domain works through Wikidata, could be adapted to Polish heritage. They also looked at the [https://impact-visualizer.wmcloud.org/ Impact Visualizer] through [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026/Contents/UK report|Martin Poulter's overview of articles related to the Khalili Collections]], and explored [https://wikibento.toolforge.org/ WikiBento] dashboards, whose current version the group plans to test. Another topic was how the [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026/Contents/Wikimedia Commons report|recent introduction of lazy loading of images]] may lower media-level pageview figures in [[c:Commons:Commons Impact Metrics|Commons Impact Metrics]], an important consideration when reporting results to partner institutions. For the Polish network, the GLAM newsletter remains a valuable source of practical ideas and inspiration.

Members of the network will meet again at the ''Open Knowledge: Wikimedia &amp; Research'' conference in Katowice in October, and an in-person meeting of Polish Wikimedians in Residence is planned for 5–6 November.

In September 2026, [[w:Czartoryski Library|the Czartoryski Library]] in Kraków, a branch of the National Museum in Kraków and home to one of Poland's most important collections of historical manuscripts, completed the second year of its Wikimedian in Residence programme. The residency, led by [[w:pl:User:MNK Agata|Agata Stadnicka]], began in September 2024 and will continue until 2028.

Over the past year, 354 high-quality reproductions were released on Wikimedia Commons. They include milestones of Polish and Central European history: privileges granted to the nobility by medieval kings, the acts of the [[w:Union of Horodło|Union of Horodło]] (1413) between Poland and Lithuania, the [[w:Treaty of Kraków|Treaty of Kraków]] (1525), the ''[[w:Pacta conventa (Poland)|pacta conventa]]'' of 1573 (the contract every elected king of Poland had to swear to), and documents of the [[w:November Uprising|November Uprising]] against the Russian Empire (1830–1831). Other releases trace the history of the Czartoryski family, whose collections formed the library, from the confirmation of their princely title and the contract founding the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków to the regulations of [[w:Polonezköy|Adampol (Polonezköy)]], a Polish émigré settlement near Istanbul, and family photographs. Illuminated manuscripts complete the picture: Jan Długosz's ''Life of St Kinga'', aphorisms handwritten by [[w:Johann Kaspar Lavater|Johann Kaspar Lavater]] for Princess [[w:Izabela Czartoryska|Izabela Czartoryska]], Persian and Indian ''muraqqaʿ'' albums, and a 19th-century map of Paris released for Wikimania 2026.

The files now illustrate Wikipedia articles in 17 language editions, from English, French and German to Georgian, Turkish and Ukrainian, and one of them accompanies a transcription on Wikisource. New Commons categories and Wikidata entries connect the collection with related holdings worldwide. The library has also joined the [https://glamwikidashboard.wmcloud.org/CLiK GLAM Wiki Dashboard] and Commons Impact Metrics, which make the reach of its files measurable.

We invite Wikimedia contributors to explore the collection, help improve its descriptions and reuse the files across language editions.

On 29 September, the network of Polish Wikimedians in Residence met online for the fifth time this year. Facilitated by Kamila Neuman, Open Culture Manager at Wikimedia Polska, these regular peer-learning sessions provide a space for exchanging experiences, discussing common challenges and developing good practices for Wikimedia residencies in cultural institutions.

The meeting brought together Wikimedians in Residence from [[w:National Library of Poland|the National Library of Poland]], [[w:Warsaw Public Library – Central Library of the Masovian Voivodeship|the Warsaw Public Library]], [[w:Czartoryski Library|the Czartoryski Library]] at the National Museum in Kraków and [[w:EC1 Łódź – City of Culture|EC1 Łódź – City of Culture]], as well as Wikimedia Polska staff: Katarzyna Makowska, Open Science Manager, and Maciej Szostek, an experienced Wikimedian in Residence who has completed residencies at [[w:PKO Bank Polski|PKO Bank Polski]] and the Wedel company museum and now provides technical support for GLAM-Wiki partnerships. We were especially glad to welcome two librarians preparing to become Wikimedians in Residence at [[w:pl:Biblioteka Uniwersytecka we Wrocławiu|Wrocław University Library]] and [[w:Nicolaus Copernicus University Library|the University Library in Toruń]], which [[GLAM/Newsletter/April 2026/Contents/Poland report|began cooperating with Wikimedia Polska earlier this year]]. Seeing the network grow was an encouraging experience for the whole group.

After sharing updates from the summer months, participants discussed how to communicate their work more effectively through Wikimedia Polska's news and social media channels. They also heard about a forthcoming editing campaign with the National Museum in Kraków, linked to its exhibition on Dante's ''Divine Comedy'' (more in an upcoming report).

Kamila Neuman then shared highlights from the [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026|August 2026 issue of ''This Month in GLAM'']], and the group considered which solutions from other countries could work in Poland. Participants discussed how a tool like the [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026/Contents/Colombia report|Colombian Public Domain Viewer]], which presents public domain works through Wikidata, could be adapted to Polish heritage. They also looked at the [https://impact-visualizer.wmcloud.org/ Impact Visualizer] through [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026/Contents/UK report|Martin Poulter's overview of articles related to the Khalili Collections]], and explored [https://wikibento.toolforge.org/ WikiBento] dashboards, whose current version the group plans to test. Another topic was how the [[GLAM/Newsletter/August 2026/Contents/Wikimedia Commons report|recent introduction of lazy loading of images]] may lower media-level pageview figures in [[c:Commons:Commons Impact Metrics|Commons Impact Metrics]], an important consideration when reporting results to partner institutions. For the Polish network, the GLAM newsletter remains a valuable source of practical ideas and inspiration.

Members of the network will meet again at the ''Open Knowledge: Wikimedia &amp; Research'' conference in Katowice in October, and an in-person meeting of Polish Wikimedians in Residence is planned for 5–6 November.
