Disclosure
In full disclosure, I work at a library with archives and special collections in Greater Boston history, so I'm often editing articles related to the people and organizations whose papers are in those archives and special collections. I always strive to do this within Wikipedia guidelines on conflict of interest, but if you ever have questions about my editing pages related to collections in my library, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Interests
I'm also interested in how Wikipedia and library/archival resources are used in the high school and college classroom, and have helped organize or otherwise contributed to a few Wikipedia-related events and presentations:
- Open Access to Mass History (2013)
- Social Justice History in Boston (2013)
- Create the Wikipedia You Want to See (New England Archivists, Spring 2014)
- Writing for Wadewitz: an Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial Edit-a-thon (Summer 2014)
- Boston City Archives Edit-a-thon: Urban renewal (Fall 2014)
- Underrepresented Groups in Massachusetts and U.S. History (Fall 2014)
- Art + Feminism at MassArt (Spring 2015)
And I'm also working on an edit-a-thon intro specific to special collections projects here.
Classroom assignments
When working with specific classroom assignments, I put suggestions specific to those assignments here.
I've also created a simple guide to citation, with a section on working with archival sources, here.
