Women are lacking visibility on Wikipedia and 18th Century figures especially have very little presence. Led by visiting French curator Jeanne Flamant and hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship, this workshop will explore how to create new Wikipedia pages for women from the 18th Century whose lives have been documented on the Electronic Enlightenment platform – digital editions of over 70,000 letters from the 17th-19th centuries.

Attendees will discover more about Wikipedia and how to increase the visibility of collections, while promoting the roles of women in the 18th century, ensuring they are more than just a line on someone else’s Wikipedia page.

This free event is open to University of Oxford staff and includes refreshments (limited spaces available). Find out more and register here: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/oxford/women-in-wiki-event

Registration closes at 17:00 on Monday 2 December.
