Join us for The History Project’s Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, dedicated to celebrating Women's History Month and amplifying the stories of remarkable queer women who have shaped the history of New England.

Learn more about local queer historical figures and contribute to enhancing their digital presence by editing articles on Wikipedia. Regardless of your editing experience, your participation is valued and welcomed.

The event will be hosted at the Boston Public Library (Jamaica Plain Branch) and will run from 11:00 am -3:00 pm. Feel free to drop in at any time to participate.

Two training sessions will be conducted by THP volunteers at 11:30 am and 1 pm. Our volunteers will be on-site throughout the event, ready to support and answer any questions. Reference materials will also be provided and available throughout the event.

Please bring your laptop or tablet. Free Wifi is provided by the BPL on-site.

RSVP on Eventbrite. BPL Meeting room details, as well as a link to research materials compiled by THP volunteers, will be delivered the day before the event to the email you sign up with. Reach out to info@historyproject.org with any questions.

Please review BPL's COVID-19 Guidelines, which we will follow while in the space.

Though registration is required, this event is free and open to the public. Any donations made support The History Project's mission to document, preserve, and share LGBTQ history. Thank you for your support!
