Scope
This project aims to coordinate the sharing of resources between the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum (The Herbert) and the Wikimedia community. The Herbert's mission as a museum aligns closely with Wikipedia’s goal to provide "free access to the sum of all human knowledge." The Herbert houses a diverse collection encompassing subjects such as art, science, history, and more. The distribution of this broad range of information will impact topics throughout Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and other projects.

To-do
High-level need
Add images to articles using the Images from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum category.
Please help disperse these valuable images that have been donated by the museum. They should be added to articles in any language that are related to the image.
Categorise images in the Images from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum category on Commons.
Images are in need of being more accurately categorised in order to make them more searchable within Commons.
Categorise images in the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum category on Commons.
This category is more general than the "Images from..." category listed above, and includes an assortment of images that are not part of the official museum donation, making it a lesser need.
Translate descriptions of images in the Images from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum category on Commons.
Add the translation template{{es|}} (for Spanish), {{de|}} (for German), etc., into the Description field of the template, and translate the description from English in order to make it easier to categorize and use for non-English speakers.
Tag articles related to Herbert Art Gallery and Museum-related topics with the {{Herbert-related}} tag.
