This June 3, Dal Libraries, in partnership with the Department of Information Science and the Master of Information program, will host a Wikipedia Edit‑a‑thon in recognition of National Indigenous History Month.

This year’s event will focus on Indigenous arts and culture, with participants working to improve and expand Wikipedia content related to Mi’kmaw artists, authors, musicians, filmmakers, and cultural organizations. Together, we’ll help strengthen the visibility and representation of Indigenous creative work and cultural contributions in one of the world’s most widely used information sources.

No prior Wikipedia experience is required. The event is beginner-friendly, with support and guidance provided to help participants learn how to edit and contribute responsibly. The day will include an instruction session, followed by time for editing.

Leading up to the event, we’ll share resources to build Wikipedia literacy, including how Wikipedia works and how to approach editing Indigenous topics thoughtfully.

Save the Date: Wednesday, June 3 (11:30 am-3:30 pm –> Join for the full day or drop in as you can)
