Continued at UC in Christchurch, giving a public talk on copyright as well as presentations to Heritage New Zealand and Lincoln University, and local GLAM workers. Ran Getting NZ Writers into Wikipedia workshop at Tūranga in association with the literary festival WORD Christchurch. WORD turn out to take good photographs of all the writers who speak at the festival, and we uploaded quite a few to Commons, as well as discussing a possible Wikipedian in Residence at the next festival.
The rest of June was spent at the Nelson Provincial Museum, working with them to sort out copyright and licensing for the Tyree Studio collection of over 100,000 glass plate negatives. Unfortunately the physical organisation, naming conventions, and file format of the digitised negatives did not allow an easy bulk upload in this visit, and the release of out-of-copyright images under a public domain (rather than CC-BY) licence was a stumbling block for the museum. I was able to give community talks and a workshop for local GLAM staff as well as run a well-attended edit-a-thon.
The month ended with the East and South East Asia and Pacific (ESEAP) Wikimedia community summit in Bangkok, which I attended along with fellow Kiwi Heather Knox. I was able to share what I'd learned as Wikipedian at Large with delegates from other countries, who seemed very interested in the "circuit rider" model of outreach.
I ended my year on the road in Wellington, with an edit-a-thon at Archives New Zealand.
