The idea of having a capacity building program began in December 2022 after the Webinar on Wikimedia event featuring LiAnna Davis and Satdeep Gill as resource speakers. As part of the celebration of the 15th birthday of Bikol Wikipedia, a 2-hour virtual seminar Webinar on Wikimedia was conducted at Fr. James O'Brien SJ Library in Naga City in partnership between the Ateneo de Naga University and the Bikol Wikipedia Community. The webinar featured two topics on Wikipedia and Education, and Wikisource. Three invited reactors gave insights and commentaries on the topics. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bikol_Wikipedia_Community/Wiki_Rescue
In March 2023, the PhilWiki Community and Bikol Wikipedia Community co-organized Wikimedia forum on Preservation of old publications through Bikol Wikisource, a follow up event at the University of Nueva Caceres Museum. Attendees were faculty members of University of Nueva Caceres, and college students taking History and BS Library & Information Science from Camarines Norte State College, Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, and University of Nueva Caceres. https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/May_2023/Contents/Philippines_report
In June 2023, a GLAM outreach activity was conducted at University of Nueva Caceres. This time, Engineering and Architecture students and the museum staff, learned about Wikisource, an open online library, and its edition in the Bikol language as well as how the project contributes in the quest for the greater Bicol identity and Filipino identity. The participants identified digitization, workshops and proofread-a-thons as activities for future collaboration. PhilWiki Community president Maffeth Opiana and board treasurer Marife Altabano reiterated their support to efforts that will make rare publications be more accessible thru open sources like the Wikisource. https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/June_2023/Contents/Philippines_report
In August 2023, the Bikol Wikipedia Community conducted the Bikol WikiConference. The conference aimed to give opportunities for the participants to understand how Wikipedia works, how Wikipedia helps improve digital literacy skills in basic education, and how Wikipedia contributes in the revitalization of indigenous languages. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bikol_Wikipedia_Community/Bikol_Wikipedia_Conference_2023
In December 2023, the 3-day WikiCommons PH conference was held.

Robredo, Universidad de Santa Isabel Museum, Museo del Seminario Conciliar de Nueva Caceres (Holy Rosary Minor Seminary Museum) and finally, the University of Nueva Caceres Museum.
