Are you featuring items from our collection or sharing the history of Women Astronomical Computers? We would love to know. Email HarvardPlateStacks@CfA.Harvard.edu with information about your event so we can include it in our records and possibly list it here. We cannot list every event, so we prioritize scholarly, innovative, accessible, and free programming.
