{{main|Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB}}

Unforgetting LA is a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons started in July 2013 by the online art magazine [http://www.eastofborneo.org/ East of Borneo]. We meet throughout the year at local museums and art spaces to train new editors and build a better online history of art in Southern California. Previous hosts include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, and USC Libraries.
