Number of clicks on donated Naturalis images up to March 1, 2019 In 2015 Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden made a selection of its collections of images and other media available to the public using Wikimedia platforms. A temporary Wikipedian in Residence had been employed for seven months to effect this media donation and to inform staff and external parties about the opportunities Wikipedia offers. Period: May - November 2015 (uploads: May 2015 - January 2016) Project leader: Maarten Heerlien, Naturalis Wikipedian in residence: Hans Muller Report (For a slightly more extended version of these pages, please refer to Wikipedia:GLAM/Naturalis on Dutch Wikipedia.) Media donation Naturalis has put much effort over the last few years since 2010 into digitising its biological documentation, including some 5 million herbarium sheets and about 3 million other documents of biological and historical import. Naturalis has donated hundreds of thousands of images to Wikimedia in 2015-2016 in this project and intends to continue uploads to Wikimedia Commons.

Refer to the web counter. 10.5 million (10,483,897) page views of article pages on wikimedia sites containing these images (May 1, 2015 - May 1, 2016). In January 2016 alone there were 1.8 million (1,824,563) page views. Web counter. By March 2019 the number of page views of donated images exceeded 71 million (compare the graph). 46 (non-unique) persons attended Wikipedia meetings, including editathons. Curators with various specialties discussed this project in four meetings with the Wikipedian in Residence. Progress was reported in a meeting with about 40 Naturalis staff members (see Meetings). Tens (hundreds?) of Wikipedians with diverse biological and other expertise included images from this donation in the Wikipedia pages noted above. On the image database Wikimedia Commons, they improved the categorisation of thousands of donated images, including the proper modern nomenclature of genus and species. Furthermore, Wikipedians made cut out and enhanced versions of Naturalis images. These processes continue as of May 24, 2016.
