Welcome to the BhamWiki
The BhamWiki, part of the Project to Document the Birmingham District, aims to become the foremost resource and guide for anyone curious about Birmingham and the region around it. Accuracy, objectivity, accessibility, and comprehensiveness are our goals. We also hope that entertainment is a plentiful by-product.
Status
The BhamWiki is still in the "alpha testing" phase. We'd still love to start bringing enthusiastic contributors on board. If you are interested, take a look at the Bhamwiki:User agreement and shoot us an email to get a username and password.
