Join Wikimedia DC and the Capitol Hill Chorale as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the Shakers in America. Although small in number, the Shakers have exercised an outsized influence on American culture; we honor their egalitarian spirit with an edit-a-thon dedicated to writing notable Shaker women into Wikipedia. This event will include new editor training and a special tour of the library. Learn more »
