Wikipedia:WikiClubWest/City of Canning

In collaboration with the City of Canning Wikimedia Australia and its WA branch WikiClubWest will be giving a series of introduction sessions to Wikipedia and digitization of materials. These session will be to build community interest in supporting the Digitization Project that will focus on photographs, documents and items related to the history of the area. We'll also explore how people can expand articles on Wikipedia, add items to Wikidata, and of course upload media to Commons.
