W&M Libraries Events

Location

This year for W&M Libraries' Love Data Week Transcribe-a-thon, we are participating in Douglass Day hosted by The Center for Black Digital Research at Penn State and the Library of Congress with their By the People crowdsourcing platform.

Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, thousands of people gather to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. They frequently focus on important Black women’s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020), Mary Church Terrell (2021), Mary Ann Shadd Cary (2023). Learn more about the history of Douglass Day.

Bring your own laptop or tablet. We will have a limited number of devices available. Please join us for this fun community event which requires no previous transcribing experience. Lunch will be provided.
