Documenting trans histories Wikipedia Workshop at Leeds University

Written By K George
A screenshot of the wikipedia Dashboard page, for the workshop. It shows that 14 articles were edited, by 6 editors, with 25 new references added.

Kit George and GossipGrrrl were invited to assist in facilitating a workshop for staff at Leeds City Museum, in collaboration with Wikipedia, in celebration of LGBTQ History Month.

Kit and GossipGrrrl contributed extensive paper resources, zines, and oral history materials to enable participants to investigate, research, and subsequently source information on Wikipedia.

Acknowledging the limited intersection between academia and transgender history, we aimed to collaborate with others to address the underrepresentation of LGBTQ history, particularly in Leeds and West Yorkshire.
