On Campus Event - Canaday Library, Lusty Cup
Academics Research Bryn Mawr College

Do you know which artists have worked in Bryn Mawr's Special Collections? Come find out by participating in a Wikidata Edit-a-thon! We'll be updating Wikidata entries on artists to add links to TriArte, Bryn Mawr's Art and Artifact database. We need your help to make our collections more discoverable and contribute to linked open data resources for art history. This is part of a longer-term project to gather and visualize demographic data about the artists we collect. 

Register and drop by when you can! Training will be provided, and lunch will be served.
