Women in Jewish History
Edit-a-thon 2016
When and Where
DateSunday, June 5, 2016

The Center for Jewish History is hosting an edit-a-thon centered on the topic of women in Jewish history on June 5, 2016.

This event is part of the Jewish Women's History Initiative at the Center for Jewish History, which highlights the lives and accomplishments of Jewish women.

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

This edit-a-thon is also a continuation of a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons centered on Jewish women. More on previous Wikipedia events can be seen at the 2014 Women in Jewish History Edit-a-thon Meetup page and the Center's GLAM Wiki page.

Comments

  • Wikipedia has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Wikipedia's not going to be the monolithic society that it once was. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Wikipedia to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Wikipedia will not survive.
