Scotland's suffragettes: a St. Andrew's Day Wikipedia editathon for Vote100
1.30pm-5.30pm on Friday 30th November 2018.
Join us to celebrate the lives & contributions of the Scottish suffragettes! This free
event accompanies a new hybrid exhibition at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for
Research Collections and is part of 2018’s celebration of one hundred years since the
Representation of the People Act
(
1918)<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representation_of_the_People_Act_191… came
into force and women were finally given the right to vote.
With guest speaker, Rachel Hosker (Archives Manager at the University of Edinburgh), this
St. Andrew's Day event in the brand new Digital Scholarship Centre is an opportunity
to see archival material about Scotland's suffragettes and a chance to learn about
& celebrate the role these notable women have played in the campaign for Votes for
Women through writing & illustrating Wikipedia articles & timelines for others to
discover all about them. Full training is provided.
