Only about 1% of Wikipedia editors identify as transgender. Celebrate Trans Awareness Month with The History Project and the Digital Transgender Archive by improving the digital visibility of transgender people and dismantling Wikipedia's cis-heterosexual supremacy!

Join our virtual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to learn how to edit and add articles to Wikipedia. In the process, you will also discover more information about transgender people and organizations in New England, including, but not limited to, Nancy Nangeroni, Rita Hester, the Transgender Emergency Fund, and Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition.

This event will be conducted over Zoom. We will offer live-streaming training sessions at 11 AM and 1 PM. Pre-researched reference materials and the Google Slide tutorial on how to edit Wikipedia will be provided for your use throughout the day.

No prior experience with Wikipedia is necessary!

RSVP on Eventbrite, a link to the Zoom sessions will be sent out the day of the event. Email info@historyproject.org with any questions.

This edit-a-thon is free and open to the public, any donations made will support The History Project's mission to document, preserve, and share LGBTQ history. Thank you!

About the Organizations

The History Project is Boston's LGBTQ community archives. A volunteer-driven 501(c)3, its mission is to document, preserve, and share LGBTQ history.

The Digital Transgender Archive exists to increase the accessibility of transgender history by providing an online hub for digitized historical materials, born-digital materials, and information on archival holdings throughout the world. Based in Boston, Massachusetts at Northeastern University, the DTA is an international collaboration among more than sixty colleges, universities, nonprofit organizations, public libraries, and private collections. By digitally localizing a wide range of trans-related materials, the DTA expands access to trans history for academics and independent researchers alike in order to foster education and dialog concerning trans history.
