The Center for Jewish History and the American Jewish Historical Society hosted an edit-a-thon centered on the American Soviet Jewry movement. The event was open to everyone, no previous Wikipedia editing experience necessary!

Resources included materials from the Archive of the American Soviet Jewry Movement at the American Jewish Historical Society that were recently digitized with the generous support of the National Historical Publications & Records Commission (NHPRC). For more information on the NHPRC-funded digitization project see a recent blog entry on the Center for Jewish History's 16th Street Tumblr.
