Australia report New images from Central Australia on Wikimedia Commons, Library Science WikiProject students edit Wikipedia & 1Lib1Ref in Australia and New Zealand

Central Australian images on Wikimedia Commons

Further Central Australian images have been added to Wikimedia Commons. In 2024, Wikimedia Australia entered into a partnership with Alice Springs Public Library to add images from their Central Australian Historical Images Collection to Wikimedia. 85 images taken primarily in Alice Springs (Mparntwe) by Anton Faymann from 1957 and 1958 have made their way onto Wikimedia Commons and been added to Wikipedia pages as well.
