Dear GLAM mailing list members,
We hope this email finds you well! We are the lead co-organizers of the
Art+Feminism, a campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on
Wikipedia, and encourage female editorship. We are writing to share some
details about the 3rd annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.
As a bit of background on us: last year, over 1500 participants at the
Museum of Modern Art in New York and more than 75 node events around the
world participated in the second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in
the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500
articles on Wikipedia. *We are hoping to double these results in 2016, and
would love to have the GLAM Consortium involved.*
The central New York event of the 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
will take place at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research
Building at MoMA, 4 West 54 Street, on Saturday, March 5, 2016. Node events
will take place over the weekend of March 4th-6th; there is funding
available for childcare and refreshments. Please contact us at
info(a)art.plusfeminism.org for more details.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Siân Evans + Jacqueline Mabey + Michael Mandiberg
