Conway Hall Library and Archives is improving Wikipedia content about nineteenth-century freethinkers as part of the National Lottery Heritage Funded project Victorian Blogging - The Pamphleteers Who Dared to Dream of a Better World. Our digitised nineteenth-century freethought pamphlets are Available on Wikimedia Commons and we are working to add these to relevant Wikipedia pages.
We are also interested in adding information about the history of Conway Hall Ethical Society, the oldest surviving freethought organisation in the world.
