Wiki Sites have many uses. They are particularly handy for increasing the reach of tourism activities and enabling visitors and local residents to make ongoing contributions to the stories of a place. They can also be used to show the distribution of collection material by small museums, key features of national parks and on anything that is distributed over a geographical area.

Wikis have the advantage of being ‘living’ sites. They enable users to comment, add information and contribute their own stories and images.
