Abstract

This article presents a webometric study about media referring to collections of Brazilian museums in the Wikimedia Commons media repository, more specifically about media from collections of nine museums managed by the Brazilian Museum Institute (IBRAM). Using the GLAMorous and GLAMorous 2 tools, it was possible to obtain data regarding the media reuse of Wikimedia Commons in other Wikimedia Foundation wiki platforms, such as Wikipedia projects in different languages, Wikidata and others. It was also possible to obtain numbers related to the views of these collections in 2019. In this way, the research carried out, as well as the data obtained, ways to help cultural institutions guarding collections, such as museums, to understand what happens with their digital collections. Since they are made available on wiki platforms, providing important data for the management of their collections, mainly in relation to access and reappropriation of these collections by users.
