About me

I’m Pat Hadley and I’m interested in sharing my passion for knowledge about culture and the past. I want to find the most exciting ways of telling brilliant stories about fascinating stuff. I feel most at home with with developers, artists, media people and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) folk.

I’m adamant that we should be democratising and opening up access to cultural material and knowledge. I’m interested in community engagement, audience development and using culture for positive social change.

I'm a Wikimedia UK accredited trainer for communities and organisations.

My work

I'm still vaguely involved in GLAMwiki work as a volunteer. I always work hard to avoid any COI issues but am happy to discuss any edits and defer to the community in case of issues.
Formerly, I was the Open Collections Developer at York Museums Trust, UK: running a copyright review of the collection in order to get more of it open licensed!
This role followed on from a Wikimedia UK collaboration: Wikimedia GLAM Yorkshire Network Project.
