The Chicago Hip-Hop History Project: Editors
The Chicago Hip-Hop Encyclopedia is a digital resource produced by the Chicago Hip-Hop History Project in partnership with the Chicago Hip-Hop Heritage Museum.
Editors and assistants contribute to the wiki by writing, editing, organizing, and updating the content of pages to ensure it is accurate, clear, and well-sourced. They also verify references, correct errors, and collaborate with others to maintain a neutral point of view. Their collective work helps keep the encyclopedia dynamic, trustworthy, and accessible to a global audience.
