Getting started

This page summarises all projects under the WikiProject UTL umbrella. The projects are grouped as follows:

• Collections projects improve article content and reference using UTL material
• Infrastructure projects make it easy for readers to find relevant UTL holdings (e.g. archives)
• Community projects help coordinate UTL community contributions to participants' interest areas

You can collapse each box (grouping) for ease of reading. All projects openly and publicly benefit Wikipedia users; most projects prioritise less visible histories. Everyone is invited to join any project!

If you'd like to get involved, freely add yourself to the list of participants in the box below the table of contents. Each project has its own subset of participants, which you can also freely add yourself to.

Participants
Add yourself by typing an asterisk * (becomes bullet point) followed by three tildes ~~~ (becomes signature). You're invited to add a short intro!
