WikipeDPLA
See relevant content from the Digital Public Library of America in Wikipedia
This extension queries the DPLA each time you visit a Wikipedia article, using the article's title, redirects, and categories to find relevant items. If you click a link at the top of the article, it loads a series of links to the items.
The original code behind WikiDPLA was written at LibHack, a hackathon at the American Library Association's 2014 Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, PA.
Does not transmit user data anywhere nor use analytics.

Extremely useful if you are going to school and your instructor is telling you that you can't use wikipedia as a scholarly source. With this, you can research DPLA to find scholarly sources cited in wikipedia.

I helped Phette code this script at LibHack and it's been nifty from the beginning. It does just what it says, surfaces relevant documents and images on a live Wikipedia article. It pulls directly from DPLA's API and is a great way to go digital explorin' from the encyclopedic overview of Wikipedia to the archival treasures catalogued at the Digital Public Library of America. Neat!
