*The Met x Wikipedia Virtual Edit Meet-up: Met Fashion*
Saturday, September 26, 12:30 – 1:30 pm - Livestream
As part of the International Wiki Loves Fashion
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Fashion> campaign, join The Met
and Wikimedia NYC online for a virtual edit session to help build global
information about fashion. Faculty, educators, students, Wikipedians, and
the public are all invited to participate, no experience necessary.
The Met + Wikipedia team will provide source information from past fashion
exhibitions, online publications, Open Access images, archival fashion
plates, and a general glossary of terms, as well as training on creating
and editing articles. A representative from The Costume Institute has also
recorded an interesting session on our upcoming exhibition, About Time:
Fashion and Duration.
