Background

Unforgetting LA is a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons started in July 2013 by the online art magazine East of Borneo. We meet throughout the year at local museums and art spaces to train new editors and build a better online history of art in Southern California. Previous hosts include the Getty Research Institute, LACMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the California African American Museum, and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture.
