About this event
Location: TBA, College Ave | Register Here The Black Bibliography Project is building a database of Black book history to highlight the social networks and aesthetics of Black print culture from the 1700s to the present. Come learn more about the BBP and Wikidata — a free open access knowledge base and the "sister" to Wikipedia. During the Edit-A-Thon, we will learn how to create Wikidata items for Black authors and publishers. These records will ultimately be linked to the BBP’s database and make it possible for users to discover forgotten or overlooked Black authors and other literary figures. Stay for some or all of the edit-a-thon! Feel free to BYO lunch. Light snacks provided. To Prepare for the Workshop: Bring your laptop Sign up for a free wikimedia account here This event is a collaboration between Rutgers Libraries and the English department!
