Description
Join us for #WikiAPA, a social evening of Wikipedia editing, dedicated to creating, updating, and improving articles about Asian Pacific American art and artists. Hosted at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Library in collaboration with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, this meetup will focus on unearthing information about a creatively-rich community that has historically been overlooked.
All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have provide research resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.
The event is part of a month-long series of meetups across the U.S. For more information about the #WikiAPA series, please visit http://smithsonianapa.org/wiki or follow #WikiAPA on Twitter. You can also find more details about WikiAPA at its Wikipedia meetup article. Admission to the edit-a-thon is free, but please RSVP.
