Collecting sources

I'm starting to collect sources to see if the Khema page can be revitalized with content and proper references. I'm using this talk space to hold any relevant materials that can be used to support article writing. Best, AD64 (talk) 02:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting help with sources, materials, and collaborations

In addition to my own research, I've posted to the talk page of the WikiProject Women's History asking for help finding sources on Khema and also potential collaboration to help enhance this article.
