Join Virginia Association of Museums, 2019 Commemoration American Evolution, and Wikimedia DC on Friday, September 21, 2018 at Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg, Virginia from 10:00am to 1:00pm for a special Wikipedia Editing Workshop!

Learn how to become a Wikipedia editor and spend time contributing to articles on the first representative legislative assembly in the New World, the arrival of the first recorded Africans to English North America, the recruitment of English women in significant numbers, the first official English Thanksgiving in North America, and the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of the Virginia Colony. No experience necessary.

AMERICAN EVOLUTION™ commemorates the 400th anniversary of several key historical events that occurred in Virginia in 1619 that continue to influence America today.
