Here’s what you need to get started.

• A contact person at your institution who can work with the Visiting Scholar.
• A list of subject areas where your institution wants to develop Wikipedia articles.
• A description of any digitized special holdings a Visiting Scholar could make use of.
• An approved process for providing the Visiting Scholar with an institution email address or login and a way to remotely access your digital collections and online resources.

If you’re ready to sponsor a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar, head to the Visiting Scholar sponsorship form.We will use your responses to craft a call for applications. If you have additional questions, contact visitingscholars@wikiedu.org.
