Hi Katie!
Welcome. I recommend three quick tutorials to get up to speed, about an hour each:
* http://enwp.org/WP:STUDENT - Education program training * http://enwp.org/WP:TWA - Wikipedia adventure interactive game * http://enwp.org/WP:PANDS - Plain and simple guide for new editors
For much more in depth background, there's:

Good luck!

Welcome Katie!
I was just at the American Alliance of Museums Conference (there were a few of us there) in Seattle this past week, shame I didn't know about your work sooner :)
Glad that you have joined us here, I've done many projects and consulted on multiple residencies. If we can be of any help here, so let us know.

Hello,
I am a Wikipedian in Residence this summer at the University of Puget Sound’s Archives & Special Collections, in Tacoma, WA. I am a rising senior and will be working this summer with Katie Henningsen, our Archivist and Digital Collections Coordinator, to make our archival material accessible through Wikipedia.
I recently met with Lianna Davis, Head of Communications and External Relations at the Wiki Education Foundation, and she suggested that I introduce myself to the email list and get connected to other, more experienced Wikipedians. I’m still pretty new to Wikipedia, and may be reaching out to this list for some guidance down the line as I begin to write articles, so I wanted to introduce myself and Katie in advance!
Best,
Kara Flynn ‘15 Wikipedian in Residence Archives & Special Collections University of Puget Sound
