Black Histories Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (With Training!)

Black Histories Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (With Training!) Online

We live in a world of information, and the knowledge we share matters: it can challenge or uphold the systemic barriers that many in our communities face. This February, we invite you to join your library in making the world of information more inclusive in the Black Histories Wikipedia  Edit-a-thon

 

Join us on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, 12  to 4 pm EST for an online edit-a-thon with training. No experience with Wikipedia is needed because all events have training embedded into their programming. Open to all. In addition to this flagship editing event, there are other in-person events held at participating institutions — as well as ways to participate on your own remotely. Visit the webpage to learn more.

 

This will be followed by a keynote address by Dr. Kisha McPherson, Assistant Professor in the School of Professional Communication at Toronto Metropolitan University. (Details and registration  forthcoming. Check back on our webpage soon.)

 

This event is organized by U of T Libraries, York University Libraries, Toronto Metropolitan University Libraries, and Toronto Public Library. We look forward to seeing you!
