Amount requested: 500 CHF


Planned activity: Scanning of books from Zurich library (ZB) - 4100 pages


People involved
(e.g. How many people can benefit from the micro grant you request): Wikimedia Commons users; I am an autopatrolled user of Wikimedia Commons, have already uploaded 42000+ files.


Please explain what influence your activity will have on Wikimedia Projects
(e.g. quantitative: number of new pictures uploaded to commons, no of new articles created / qualitative: strengthen the community of german-speaking wikipedia authors etc,): It will allow me to upload app. 13-14 PD books (4100 pages) published before 1923 in German, French, Italian or English to Wikimedia Commons. The grant could cover my travel expences to/from ZH (6.70 CHF per 24h-card) and time of scanning at the professional book scaner in the library. I got a medal from Russian wiki-Library for the help with article sources (scanned 10+ books).
