Centraal Museum Utrecht and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision are two out of 22 partners of the Europeana Fashion project who, together with Wikimedia Netherlands and ModeMuze, will host the second in a series of fashion edit-a-thons around Europe. During the event, participants will come together to edit and contribute new information to Wikipedia using the digital collections shared by the Centraal Museum and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. The goal of the edit-a-thon is to improve and increase the presence of fashion related information on Wikipedia and spread knowledge about Europeana Fashion and Wikipedia as a source of information.
