Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wikipedia in Your Library

The edit-a-thon will concentrate on any topics relating to DC history, with a special focus on LGBT history in honor of LGBT Pride month. We'll also explore uploading out of copyright material to Wikimedia Commons.

See also media contributed by the George Washington University on Wikimedia Commons.

Do I have to register to attend, or can I just arrive on the day?

:Signing up in advance assures that we will have enough snacks and know how many people to expect, but if you just show up we'll still be happy to see you!

Do I have to be a member of Wikimedia DC?

:No, this event is open to everyone.

What happens if I get hungry?

:We'll have snacks and drinks!

What material will attendees be able to access?

:We'll have a selection of materials from Special Collections available for editors to use in creating and editing articles. Event attendees are also welcome to find other materials by [http://surveyor.gelman.gwu.edu/advsearchform.htm searching the catalog] or by accessing our [http://libguides.gwu.edu/databases electronic resources] (such as JSTOR or the Washington Post Historical databases).
