25th DCW Conversation Hour
Wikisource is a bridge between historical archives and modern accessibility, offering a platform where texts from diverse cultures and eras are preserved, digitized, and made freely available to the world. This Conversation Hour explores the significance of Wikisource in democratizing knowledge, fostering community-driven efforts to digitize and share invaluable textual heritage, and its impact on education, research, and cultural preservation. Join us to understand how Wikisource empowers communities, advances knowledge equity, and transforms archival materials into accessible resources for everyone.
Our speaker, Satdeep Gill, a Program Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation’s Culture and Heritage initiative, brings unparalleled insight into Wikisource's relevance. With his extensive experience in promoting underrepresented languages and empowering communities to preserve their literary legacies, Satdeep will share practical strategies, inspiring stories, and a vision for how Wikisource contributes to advancing knowledge equity and accessibility globally.
Join us to explore how archival treasures are transformed into accessible resources through Wikisource, and discover the opportunities it offers to shape the future of open knowledge.
