Overview of monuments

Need help?

Wiki Loves Monuments — just like all projects of the Wikimedia movement — is almost entirely run by volunteers. Its success has been achieved thanks to the involvement of hundreds of participants interested in preserving cultural heritage of their countries and building the biggest free media repository in the world.

International team

This is an overview of the volunteers involved as well as of their responsibilities for the 2016 edition; for each person, there will be also information on how to reach them, although we recommend that you review the Need help? section before contacting individual team members.
