Finding aids edit
One of the ways to contribute to this event is to help us add finding aids to Wikipedia articles and/or Wikidata items. This table lists some of the finding aids in Rare Books. First, we need help identifying the appropriate articles on Wikipedia and Wikidata – adding those to this table. Then, we'll add an External link to Wikipedia articles (if appropriate) and/or an "archives at" statement to the Wikidata item.
Click the Edit link next to the start of the Finding aid section and start editing the table – that counts as editing Wikipedia! Enter a status of "working" so that others know the entry is in progress; be sure to change to "done" when you're finished!
