'''Cultural partnerships''' are co-operations between the Wikimedia movement and cultural institutions, such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums, known collectively as '''GLAM'''s. There are a wide range of possible projects − from [[/Content partnerships|content donations]] to edit-a-thon events (where Wikipedians and experts work together to improve the projects' coverage of a certain topic), and more.

== Wikimedians in Residence ==
[[File:Wikimedian_in_Residencce_Programme_Review_-_WMUK_2014.pdf|thumb|300px|WIR Programme Review as a PDF]]
A [[outreach:Wikipedian in Residence|Wikimedian in Residence]] is a Wikipedia editor who works in an institution to facilitate a close working relationship between the Wikimedia movement and that institution through a range of activities, including:
* Organising outreach work to encourage understanding and development of Wikimedia projects internally and externally
* Exploring and sharing the institution's digital resources on Wikimedia Commons
* Organising events to create or expand existing articles about notable items or subjects of specific relevance to the collection and the organisation's expertise
* Working with the institution's staff to explain Wikipedia's and its sister projects' practices and how they might be able to contribute. This can be done via events, workshops, producing case studies and documentation of content.
* Helping other Wikimedians to expand and write articles about the institution's collections or area of expertise
* Developing other projects supporting open knowledge in the UK
 
An overview and background of our Wikimedians in Residence programme is given in the '''[[Wikimedian in Residence 2014 review|programme review]]''' published in 2014.
