Join the University of Illinois Archives and partners for a deep dive into digitized Domestic Science/Home Economics archival collections. These materials have been digitized with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the University of Illinois as part of the project, No Longer at the Margins: A Digital Project to Amplify Access to the Archives of Women in Science. In this edit-a-thon, we'll be transcribing documents, identifying people, and translating information into Wikidata. Each session will have a brief introduction before working with the documents, and we'll be circulating guides and Zoom links ahead of the session. Participants are welcome to drop in and out of each session as needed. No prior editing experience needed. All are welcome! Food provided for in person participants. Sessions: 2/23 3-5 pm CST; 2/25 11am - 1pm CST; 2/27 11 am - 1pm CST. Register here.
