The National Heritage Science Forum is partnering with Wikimedia UK to provide a series of free training sessions around the UK, to develop the skills to work with Wikipedia.
The next session will be held at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh on the 17 November 2017, 2-5 pm. Trainers from Wikimedia UK will cover the basic skill set needed to create and edit Wikipedia pages; follow-up resources will be provided.
The workshop will focus on heritage science topics. However, the session is open to all and you do not need to be a heritage scientist to attend. If you have an interest in archaeology, looking after museum collections, managing historic buildings, materials science, or finding new ways to present and interpret heritage – you might find you’re more of a heritage scientist than you knew.
The event is free and aimed at beginners – participants are requested to bring their own laptops. Attendance is limited to 15 places – register before the 9 November.
