As part of the Ada Lovelace Bicentenary, the Bodleian Libraries and University of Oxford IT Services are hosting an Image-a-thon on Monday 12th October 2015, from 2pm to 5pm. Led by Martin Poulter, the Bodleian Libraries' Wikimedian In Residence, this event will show how Wikipedia articles are illustrated and get users adding images to articles.

We are lucky to have as guest speaker Professor Sylvia McLain, a University of Oxford bio-physicist.

This is a free event. The booking link for members of the University of Oxford is http://courses.it.ox.ac.uk/detail/TWOHB . If you are not a member, email martin.poulter@bodleian.ox.ac.uk

As part of this event, a call has gone out to Oxford librarians to share images related to the theme of women in science. We will be sharing newly digitised images of Ada Lovelace herself.

A project page on Wikipedia will record changes made.
