International Dunhuang Project

The International Dunhuang Project group at the British Library are planning a multi-day, multi-language, editing programme from 23rd to 26th October 2012 focused on the broad theme of Central Asian history and archaeology. As well as contributions from IDP staff and interested Wikipedians, we're hoping to get involvement from external academics and students. We are also planning to upload plenty of images during the event so please let us know if you have any image requests. Initial announcement wikimediauk-l announcement It will be hosted inside the British Library staff areas, at the Dunhuang Project offices on the upper ground floor. This allows us to have easy access to the reference collections and to the Library's book stock, as well as provides the possibility of displaying original material. However, it does mean you will need to let us know if you plan to attend! We've got various visiting groups booked, but Wikipedians are welcome to come by any day during the week. Expertise in the subject is not required... Monday 22nd October (provisional) - offsite workshop in Birmingham with a student group Tuesday 23rd October - no group scheduled Wednesday 24th October - afternoon, MA students from SOAS Thursday 25th October - morning, student group from UCL Friday 26th October - no group scheduled More details will follow as they are organised. If you would like to be notified of the plans as they are finalised, or want to register an interest in attending, please sign up below, or email andrew.graybl.uk Interested users BabelStone (talk · contribs).

Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits Definitely interested in seeing how this works. Not sure which days I can manage.
