Wikimedia Australia is partnering with the National Gallery of Australia as part of the Know My Name initiative to enhance understanding and appreciation of work by Australian artists who identify as women.
Become part of the Wikipedia community of volunteers who collaboratively create and maintain the world’s largest and most popular research tools. On the weekend of International Women's Day, Wikimedia Australia’s Caddie Brain and the Gallery’s Research Library staff are holding an interactive four-hour workshop where you can learn to edit and make new entries to Wikipedia. You will have the opportunity to create a new page on a selected Australian woman artist.
The workshop will include research resources and access to the National Gallery’s specialist art library. Basic computer skills required. No previous Wikipedia editing experience necessary.
Bring your own laptop. Extra computers will be available on request.
Participation is free but registration essential as event has limited capacity. Wikimedia Australia will help you register for a Wikipedia account prior to the event.
