WikiProject Tokikom
A project to bring Basque local media image archives to the Commons

Tokikom (Q16518982) is a network of 66 local media in Basque language. Most of them emerged at the end of the 1980s, in the context of the flourishing of local Basque associations, as an instrument for the dissemination and standardisation of Basque.

The Basque Wikimedians User Group has been working with them to bring part of their archives to Wikimedia, importing images to the Commons and using them on Wikipedia and Wikisource.
