Digital Works Podcast

Dr. Martin Poulter is Wikimedian in Residence at the Khalili Foundation.
We hear how Martin moved from being a dedicated volunteer Wikipedia contributor to a key advocate for the open content movement, harnessing Wikipedia’s potential to democratise access to cultural heritage and knowledge.
Through his collaborations with organisations like the Bodleian Libraries, University of Bristol, and the Khalili Collection, Martin shares his thoughts on the significant opportunities that can arise when cultural institutions embrace Wikipedia.
Martin also shares a frank and insightful perspective on the cultural and mindset change that is required to fully capitalise on these opportunities.
