On March 30, the North Carolina collection will host its second Wikipedia edit-a-thon.
We'll meet in Wilson Library and use collection materials to create, update, and
improve articles about people, places, events, and organizations associated with African
American history in North Carolina.
Everyone is welcome, even if you've never edited Wikipedia before. Staff will be on
hand to help you find books and articles on topics that interest you, and to help you with
Wikipedia edits.
Refreshments will be provided and tours of Wilson Library will be given throughout the
event.
The event is open from 1:00 to 4:30. Feel free to arrive and leave whenever it suits you.
Please bring a laptop if possible.
