digital Berkshire Conference of Women Historians #DHBerks


the Berks has done a few job of tweting conference streams (follow them )





When it turned out none was being doing for digital approaches to doing women's history
I decided to do one.  I tried to find Twitter handles and relevant URLs to aid the live tweeters.  If you've got more leave in the comments or tweet!

if i might be so bold as to suggest a hash tag? #DHBerks

Heather Prescott* (Connecticut State University) and Claire Potter* (The New School for Public Engagement)*Special workshop, no pre-registration required*
Wikipedia is the world’s most popular reference work, but—as the recent spate of edit-a-thons has shown—women’s history is poorly represented there. This half-day, hands-on workshop aims to teach participants how to edit Wikipedia (our focus will be on women’s history, but the skills apply to any subject matter). Participants will learn the policies governing the site, register as editors, begin editing the content of their choice, and leave confident in their abilities to revise text, add citations and insert images. Participants should bring a laptop or tablet to use during the workshop
