The article presents an initiative for the digital dissemination of the Museu Paulista collection, based on the reuse of data available on Wikidata for the creation of a Wikibook in Portuguese. "The photographs of Guilherme Gaensly in the collection of the Museu Paulista" features a set of 140 photographs and postcards by Gaensly, especially urban landscapes. In the technical infrastructure of the wikibook, each page was created by just one person, but the information on it comes from edits made either directly on Wikidata or in applications that indirectly generate edits on Wikidata. The page also contains a section on participatory curatorship, a section on connections with other images and two sections with contextual references to Gaensly's work and the Paulista Museum's GLAM-Wiki.
