When Experts Edit: Improving Wikipedia’s coverage of U.S. history

What happens when historians, museum and historical site professionals, and other history practitioners are empowered to bring their collections and expertise to the world’s go-to encyclopedia?

Join Wiki Education on December 3 to hear how experts throughout the United States are improving Wikipedia’s coverage of local history!

In collaboration with the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH), Wiki Education launched a new series of editing courses to teach history professionals how to contribute to Wikipedia, engaging their knowledge and collections across galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. To date, the courses have gathered participants from 43 states (and counting!), bringing together experts from across the U.S. to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of their local history in celebration of the country’s upcoming 250th birthday.
