The Center for Jewish History and the American Jewish Historical Society are hosting an edit-a-thon centered on the American Soviet Jewry movement. The event is open to everyone, no previous Wikipedia editing experience necessary!

We encourage participants to take advantage of resources from the Archive of the American Soviet Jewry Movement at the American Jewish Historical Society that were recently digitized with the generous support of the National Historical Publications & Records Commission (NHPRC). For more information on the NHPRC-funded digitization project see a recent blog entry on the Center for Jewish History's 16th Street Tumblr.
