Join us for an edit-a-thon about women in architecture and architecture topics, focused especially on MIT alumna. Everyone with an interest in architecture, design, women's history or Wikipedia is welcome! If you've never edited, we will teach you. If you are an experienced editor, you are also welcome!

Rough schedule:

  • 11-12: introductions; discussion: why does representation of women on Wikipedia matter; editing training; topic brainstorming

Snacks and some library materials will be provided; hosted by MIT NOMAS and MIT Libraries.
