What we did

edit

On May 29 2024 Te Papa's Wikipedians and Library team held a day-long session to add as many references as we could. We were joined by Ambrosia10 and several brand new editors, including some from the Alexander Turnbull Library.

With the motivation of mutual nerding out, good food, and the goal of beating last year's contribution of 410 references, we had an intense and satisfying day of editing.

What we used

Our major sources were publications by Te Papa Press and articles from Te Papa's research journal, Tuhinga.
