The Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope continues to perform at or better than specification. The team at STScI provides both user support and instrument calibration with several major improvements in calibration over that past year. This poster describes the improvements to slitless spectroscopic mode calibrations, calibration of the stability and linearity of the infrared detector, and the availability of pixel history tracking to support identification and partial correction of image persistence in infrared images. Companion papers at the meeting discuss CCD Charge Transfer Efficiency changes and mitigation, improved flat fields and photometric zero points, early investigations using the recently commissioned spatial scan mode, and the HST Cycle 19 Calibration plan for WFC3.
