The Center for Jewish History hosted an edit-a-thon centered on the topic of women in Jewish history on Sunday, June 5, 2016.

Partners included the Jewish Women's Archive and Lilith magazine. This event ran concurrently with a virtual edit-a-thon with Women in Red.

This event was part of the Jewish Women's History Initiative at the Center for Jewish History, which highlights the lives and accomplishments of Jewish women.

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

This edit-a-thon was also a continuation of a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons centered on Jewish women. More on previous Wikipedia events can be seen at the 2014 Women in Jewish History Edit-a-thon Meetup page and the Center's GLAM Wiki page.
