We are organizing a WikiProject related to the Piludski Institute, with the goal of gathering the Wikipedians interested in modern history of Poland and Polonia. We are looking for volunteers for this project. We need a Wikipedian-in-Residence to intern/volunteer part-time in the Institute in New York City, and are looking for local and remote Wikipedians who would like to contribute - especially those that speak the Polish language.
The Pilsudski Institute has a large number of resources related to modern Polish history, sources concerning outstanding historical figures and important events, soldiers fighting in WW I and WW II, and Polish emigre organizers and institutions. Such topics need to be much better represented in the Wikipedia, both the Polish and English language versions.
With the help of Wikimedia NYC we are planning several training sessions for those who would like to participate and would like to learn the Wiki ins and outs. Please contact us for more details.
