Wiki Tuesdays at Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec[edit]
Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) and Wikimedia Canada are collaborating to offer users of the Grande Bibliothèque in Montreal workshops in Wikipedia's French version. Starting on February, the first Tuesday of each month, a workshop is held where experienced Wikipedians guide all those who want to learn more about Wikipedia and how to contribute to the online encyclopedia. Each workshop has a specific theme around which the public is invited to contribute. BAnQ, which has a large collection of books and documents, ancient and modern, as well as rich archives around these themes, provides participants the documentation needed to write well documented Wikipedia articles. Participants find on site experienced contributors, and also librarians and archivists who specialize in the topics covered. The goal of these workshops is to improve Wikipedia's French content, increase the number of Quebec contributors to profit documentaries and professional resources BAnQ and better represent Quebec, New France, French Canada or more broadly, French America.
