Wikimedia Norge awarded funding from Arts Council
Wikimedia Norge has been awarded 100,000 NOK to make an image collection by Bodil Biørn available on Wikimedia Commons. Bodil Catharina Biørn (1871–1960) was a Norwegian missionary, nurse and midwife who was a missionary in eastern Turkey (Ottomon Empire). Biørn was an eyewitness to what has later been called the first genocide of the 20th century, the Armenian Genocide. She documented this by taking photographs and writing detailed image descriptions. In May Wikimedia Norge and the National Archive invite Wikipedians to help work on these image descriptions. Read more here..
