It's worth noting that there have been Wikimedia events at several of these museums in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Queen_Street_Mill_Museum/event <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Queen_Street_Mill_Museum/event> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Queen_Street_Mill_Museum/event_2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Queen_Street_Mill_Museum/event_2> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Judges%27_Lodgings/event <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Judges'_Lodgings/event>
Clem Rutter and I have been in contact with Jo Hayward (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jhayward001 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jhayward001>) to see if there was anything that Wikimedia could do to help here (e.g., holding additional events/taking photos/improving the articles), but nothing concrete came out of those discussions. Obviously, they have quite a lot of other things to be worrying about at the moment!
