2015 Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at LACMA, co-organized by East of Borneo and the Women's Center for Creative Work

Unforgetting L.A. Wikipedia meetup at 356 S. Mission, June 2014.

Since July 2013, Unforgetting LA is a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons to build a better online history of art in Southern California. We meet throughout the year at museums and art spaces around Los Angeles, including the Getty Research Institute, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, LACMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Hammer Museum, and the California African American Museum. Beginners are welcome and training is offered at each meetup. Unforgetting L.A. is organized by the online art magazine East of Borneo.

Outcomes

Many of these articles are stubs that could use improvement!
Note: Most, but not all, of these articles were created at Unforgetting L.A. meetups. Some were on our project worklist but created between events, so I've moved them down to outcomes.
