Scotland's suffragettes: a St. Andrew's Day Wikipedia editathon for Vote100
1.30pm-5.30pm on Friday 30th November 2018.
Join us to celebrate the lives & contributions of the Scottish suffragettes! This free event accompanies a new hybrid exhibition at the University's Centre for Research Collections and is part of 2018’s celebration of one hundred years since the Representation of the People Act (1918) came into force and women were finally given the right to vote.
With guest speaker, Rachel Hosker (Archives Manager at the University of Edinburgh), this St. Andrew's Day event in the brand new Digital Scholarship Centre is an opportunity to see archival material about Scotland's suffragettes and a chance to learn about & celebrate the role these notable women have played in the campaign for Votes for Women through writing & illustrating Wikipedia articles & timelines for others to discover all about them. Full training is provided.
Hope to see you there.
Very best,
Ewan
