Edit-a-thons
STEM-we had a good turnout for the edit-a-thon last week. We had 8 participants in person (that’s not including EE, SE and RO) and 2 online. 6 of the 8 in person participants were new users. So far 11 articles on Irish Women in STEM were worked on.
PRONI-JQ has been in touch with his contact in PRONI. They are receptive to hosting a WWI themed edit-a-thon. JQ will move forward with securing a date in the autumn. He will also begin contacting other museums/archives about similar events.
Conferences
NUIG-19 June-SE will wait to hear from Sharon about the workshop.
DRHA-1-3 September-RO was notified in order to run the workshop we need to purchase a 1-day admission to the conference which for students is €115. RO will see if we can get around that.
WLM
The website has been updated with 2015 information.
We did not receive the Arts grant for a 1916 themed photo contest. We will go forward with it anyway. We will explore options to crowd-source 1916 monuments.
RO has a photographer friend who is willing to escort her to meetings of local photography clubs to talk about the contest. They will discuss the particulars this week.
