Abstract:
In 2021, the Smithsonian's American Women's History Initiative partnered with Wiki Education to run a series of four Wiki Scholars courses. These courses, available for staff of Smithsonian Affiliates, taught participants how to improve biographies of women, particularly those relevant to the local museums' collections and contexts.
In this session, we'll discuss how we collaborated, what the outcomes are for Wikipedia, and what we learned.
