[ok-scotland] Edit-a-thon at the National Library of Scotland 19 October

Wed Sep 18 11:03:27 UTC 2013

October will be a big month for Wikimedia events in Edinburgh! In addition to the Ada Lovelace Festival of Wikipedia workshop on 3 October and the Edinburgh Wikimeet on 27 October (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/Edinburgh_4), we are also hosting an edit-a-thon on Early Photography in Scotland on 19 October.

The Edinburgh Calotype Club was the first photographic club in the world, and two albums of their photographs are held by the National Library of Scotland and the Edinburgh City Libraries, as well as many additional resources both primary and secondary. We warmly invite anyone with an interest in the history of photography or photography in general to help share the story of Edinburgh's contribution to the  early development of photography in the late 19th and early 20th centuries!

Details about the event can be found on the events page at https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Early_Photography_in_Scotland_Edit-a-thon; please share with friends and colleagues in and around Edinburgh, Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians alike. There will be a training workshop for new editors held before the edit-a-thon, and we will provide lunch and refreshments for all participants.

Come join us for what I'm sure will be a brilliant event!
