Jazz: Changing Chords and Culture Library of Congress Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon

Did you know that Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that anyone can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries? Join us for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon and learn to improve and create Wikipedia articles. Representatives from Wikimedia DC will be on hand to train new editors and share best practices for using Library of Congress resources to strengthen Wikipedia content related to Jazz recordings and films. No prior knowledge of Wikipedia editing is necessary.

This edit-a-thon is open to Library of Congress staff only. It will be live-streamed for those who cannot attend in person. Laptops are required. Please bring your own.

When
