Introduction Welcome to our collaborative effort aimed at giving visibility to overlooked personalities on Wikipedia. Inspired by projects like the Encyclopedia of Invisibility, this initiative seeks to expand articles about individuals who have been underrepresented or forgotten while ensuring compliance with all Wikipedia guidelines and standards. With a focus on diverse narratives, we aim to amplify voices that have been marginalized and provide a platform for untold histories. Join us in rewriting history and celebrating the diverse contributions of individuals who have shaped our world! Collaborators: Tavares Strachan discussing the Encyclopedia of Invisibility project collaboration. I have spent my life being obsessed with telling lost stories. I believe that lost stories should be told in ways that match the ambitions of the people we speak for. I believe that we all have access to lost stories and it’s up to us to ensure that they are not lost forever. This is why I started the Encyclopedia of Invisibility project in 2014, with my first entry on the explorer, Matthew Alexander Henson. The aim of this collaboration between The Encyclopedia of Invisibility and Wikipedia is to expand and create articles on people whose lives and contributions have been in some way excluded from the prevailing narratives of history. We hope that by providing a platform, Wikipedia editors and contributors will be inspired to act on their commitments to individuals and communities whose stories have been overlooked and forgotten. Through the collaborative efforts of researchers, editors, artists, and administrators, underrepresented individuals who come across the information provided here will learn that people like them had great influence in charting the circumstances of the present. By granting public access to much of the knowledge collected in the Encyclopedia of Invisibility, we hope to expand participation in this project of open access to counter-narratives. By creating a page dedicated to promoting and preserving hidden histories, we can offer new perspectives to our collective memory and challenge the mechanisms of oppression that operate within the realm of encyclopedic and artistic representation. Tavares Strachan In our mission to bring invisible stories to light, we are collaborating with notable artists who share our passion for amplifying marginalized voices. Together, we aim to ensure that overlooked narratives find their place in history. Our collaborators include accomplished artists working tirelessly in the same field, driven by a shared commitment to making invisible stories visible. Through their expertise and dedication, we are confident in our ability to shine a spotlight on the untold stories of individuals who have long been overlooked. Together, we will strive to create a more inclusive and representative depiction of history, one that honors the diverse contributions of all individuals. Join us as we work alongside these esteemed collaborators to rewrite the narrative and give voice to those who have been silenced.

This collaborative approach ensures the effective dissemination of knowledge and maximizes the impact of our project.
