Test Wikibase instance for the African Studies Centre Leiden.

Documentation

In June-July 2022 the national library of the Netherlands (KB) created and configured a test instance on Wikibase.cloud. They created a presentation in which they share their experiences and first impressions of unboxing, setting up, configuring and tweaking their Wikibase.cloud test instance. Their documentation was tremendously helpful for the African Studies Centre for getting started with setting up this ASCL test instance. Thank you very much Olaf Janssen!
