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@art.plusfeminism.org for more details.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Siân Evans + Jacqueline Mabey + Michael Mandiberg
