Dear Amanda, Thank you for coordinating these events, and for the quick "how to run" notes for librarians hoping to add themselves to the week. I've added a column for wiki facilitators in the event table. I know of two events with facilitators already; if others are available to facilitate one of the remaining events, please add yourselves.
Countway's History of Medicine editathon should be particularly interesting - it has a fairly well-defined focus on History of Medicine, and there are very active wikiprojects to collaborate with. Sam. (copying emw for old time's sake!)
