Wiki Workshop – Exploring Migrant Histories of Garnethill through Archives.
Migrant Voice and Glasgow Building Preservation Trust are working together to add migrant places in Garnethill to Wikimedia Commons through Wiki Walks. In this first workshop we’ll look at how we can use archives – old maps, photos and documents – to help us find out about the past (and present) of our neighbourhoods. Our trainer will introduce you to WikiMedia – how it works and why it’s important to share our local places on it. This will be followed by a a short walk, taking photos of migrant shops and restaurants in the area, and learning how to upload and tag them on Wikimedia.
