Special Collections Gets "Wiki-ed"

Special Collections is working on a project to add links to our manuscript collections in Wikipedia. As we'€™ve learned through our surveys, our students begin with Google searches and Wikipedia searches. External links were added to pages for individuals whose manuscript collections we hold. Visit the Peter Camejo page on Wikipedia to see an example. Other pages that were edited include:
