Unsung Heroes of the Bureau of American Ethnology Wikipedia Edit-a-thon



It’s the 150th Anniversary of John Wesley Powell's Expedition to explore the Colorado and Green Rivers! Come participate in a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to help tell the stories of "unsung heroes" of Powell's efforts, drawing on collections held at the Smithsonian’s National Anthropological Archives and Human Studies Film Archives, especially those of women and Native American collaborators.

No Wikipedia editing experience necessary. Training and refreshments will be provided. Training in Wikipedia editing techniques will take place from 11am to 12:30pm, followed by a break for lunch. Open editing time will run from 1:30-4:30. If you've never edited before, please plan to arrive at 11 for a fabulous training session.

Laptops are required. Please bring your own.

This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Challenging the Face of Science: The Bearded Lady Project, on view at the National Museum of Natural History November 15, 2019 – April 30, 2020.
