2021-06-07: GLAM AT THE MUSEUM OF EASTERN BOHEMIA IN HRADEC KRÁLOVÉ CONTINUES

Lukáš Nekolný, a wiki-resident of the Museum of Eastern Bohemia in Hradec Králové, is already cooperating with individual departments of the museum and their curators to improve and expand the content of Wikipedia. Take a look at the edited page about the institution or at Lukáš's dashboard.

The employees of the museum are very satisfied with Lukáš's work and that is why we have now advanced to the next phase of cooperation, ie the selection of digitized materials, which we will provide at the Commons. The first media files we will upload to Commons will be selected from the Photography Collection. Specifically from the Hradecensia Subcollection and they will relate to Hradec Králové architecture.

2021-06-24: The last farewell to Prof. Jan Sokol, our honorary member, took place on 24 June

Professor Jan Sokol, a well-known Czech philosopher, wikipedian and honorary member of our chapter, died after a short illness in February this year. At that time, because of the coronavirus, a memorial service was held for only a small circle of the family. The last farewell and the placing of the urn in the family grave in the Břevnov cemetery took place on 24 June 2021 and was already attended by extended family and friends. We printed a book of condolences for the Professor's loved ones, with texts from the entire Czech Wikipedia community, which we presented to the family on this occasion. The Professor's loved ones were very grateful for this small gift. We also made a small photo report from the last farewell.
