Dear Bay Area Wikimedians:

The Bay Area Wiki Salon is excited to co-host another Wiki-a-thon (edit/upload-a-thon) at the Prelinger Library, and you are all invited to join us on Sunday February 9th!

In honor of Black History Month, we will be focusing our efforts on creating and improving Wikipedia articles and enriching other Wikimedia projects relating to persons of African descent, and places, events, movements, organizations, or cultural items associated with the the African Diaspora using the unique, largely image-rich and public domain, holdings of the Prelinger Library, a collection 19th and 20th century historical ephemera, periodicals, maps, and books not commonly found in other public libraries.

See below for more information and links, including a link to the Stacks Explorer where you can explore the virtual shelves of the Prelinger Library's holdings. We hope to see/work with you on February 9th!
