The edit-a-thon offers a range of topics for editors to choose from, focused around Smithsonian collections and research strengths. These may include taxonomy and species data, rare books and publications, anthropology, forensics, notable scientific figures, artists, artworks, history, gardens, and so much more! If you have a preference please put it down when you sign up! Smithsonian staff are working hard even now to identify articles in need of love, and locating relevant Smithsonian resources that will help to improve them.
