ada lovelace chalon portrait

Join the Bodleian Library for the first ever transcribe-a-thon: we’ll use Wikisource to create an electronic edition of a historic book about women geniuses. For more info, see http://courses.it.ox.ac.uk/detail/TWOHD. This is part of a series of events hosted by IT Services and the Bodleian Libraries to celebrate the bicentenary of Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer. Open to anyone with an interest in developing public understanding of women in science. No wiki editing experience is necessary, through experienced editors are very welcome. External bookings are welcome – just email martin.poulter@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
