Hello all, I'm Rebecca and I am based in Dublin. My interests are around women's history, museology, history of science and Irish related content.

From 2021 onwards I am working on the Irish Monopoly board project and other buildings, streets and areas of Dublin. Help welcome!

From 2017 to 2023 I was the Project Coordinator/Manager for Wikimedia Community Ireland, for edits that I made in an official capacity I used my staff account.

Editing Interests
As a long-term active member of the Wikimedia Community Ireland, I have an interest in improving articles associated with cultural heritage in Ireland, improving current content, addressing red links and adding images. These include but not limited to:
 * My To Do List
 * List of National Monuments of Ireland
 * List of museums in the Republic of Ireland
 * List for my 100wikidays
 * List of notable structures from National Inventory of Architectural Heritage
 * Early Irish badminton players

I'm a member of the Irish National Committee for Commemorative Plaques in Science and Technology, representing Women in Technology and Science (WITS). I have compiled a list of those who have received plaques, and those who are featured on the Committee's website.

In 2020 I wrote one article a day for #366wikidays.

PhD research
From 2013 to 2017, I conducted research into the contemporary use and understanding of the term curation and curator. This has led to me developing and formalising the idea of "citizen curation". To this end I used my experience on Wikipedia to inform this work.
