Join RIT Libraries and the College of Art and Design for this semester’s Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Celebrating Graphic Histories! The goal of this year's event is to boost the inclusion of traditionally underrepresented communities in Wikipedia articles related to the graphic arts and history. Take part in writing or editing articles about notable women, LGBTQIA+ communities and people, communities and people of color, or any other subject lacking representation on Wikipedia.
Training, resources, and support will be available to empower participants to edit Wikipedia. No experience is necessary. Refreshments will be provided.
People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome. Come for half an hour or stay as long as you would like! Access services are available by request at http://myaccess.rit.edu.
