In honor of Open October and Indigenous Peoples Day, join folks from the UNH Library for a community updating of Wikipedia entries via Zoom. Help us make Wikipedia more inclusive and bring visibility to under-represented people.

• Though you can edit any pages within Wikipedia that you would like, during this session, many of us will focus on improving coverage of Indigenous people - by adding citations, creating new pages/bios, and editing existing pages.
• No experience is needed. We'll be available for on-the-spot training and will provide reference materials, suggested pages to edit, and more.
• Drop in for as long or as little as you'd like.

Everyone benefits from increased access to the latest research. Making your scholarship Open Access should be easy! Instead, it can be confusing and expensive, especially if you're trying to decide on short notice. This presentation will help you sort out your options, find out how you can plan ahead, and put you on the pain free path to open.

Tour the Irma G. Bowen Historic Clothing collection with its creators Astrida Schaeffer and Sarah Stinson for a behind the scenes look at the making of an online cultural heritage collection!

This digital collection contains detailed descriptions and over a thousand photographs that tell the stories of New Hampshire people, ranging from immigrant enclaves to the governor’s mansion, from the hands of housewives to skilled seamstresses. From a plain homespun housedress to an evening gown from Paris; a dress worn to marry, as well a dress worn to mourn. Through the record of preserved dresses, altered seams, imported fabrics, homespun, stains, patches, and secret padding, it is history written on an intimate scale; a glimpse of lives otherwise invisible to the historical record.
