Hi everyone,
(This is still in the making, so no solid promises or plans yet.)
In the Netherlands a small group of representatives of organisations that deal
with women’s history is seriously brainstorming about a longer-term project to
represent the Dutch women’s history better on Wikipedia.
Hi Sandra,
I don't think there have been any in the past unless you count my
discussions with Els Kloek about the 1001 vrouwen project. She is not a

its not a formal thing. Myself, Adrianne and Alex have been involved but
again its not formal
The Europeana fashion is sort what you are going for...or
Hi Sandra,
You may find these educational materials helpful when you think about
designing your program.

Good luck!

Hi Sandra,
The Wiki Education Foundation has done collaborations like that. We work
with a handful of academic associations in the U.S. who encourage their
members (professors who teach in that discipline) to assign their students
to fill content gaps on Wikipedia. We've had a lot of success with
