SUMMARY:Making History with LVA (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer with us! The Library of Virginia acquires\, 
 preserves\, and promotes access to unique collections of Virginia’s 
 history and culture. With more content and research moving online\, we seek 
 to make digital documents as accessible as possible by crowdsourcing their 
 contents. Volunteers will transcribe handwritten pages and historical 
 newspapers by reading the text and typing it into digital form. Join us for 
 a virtual volunteer session to learn how you can help make historical 
 documents more searchable and usable for researchers now and in the 
 future.\n\nEach virtual session will include an introduction to the 
 Library\, historical background about a collection\, and a website 
 demonstration to help volunteers get started. We will use either the 
 Library of Virginia collections on From the Page or our historical 
 newspaper database\, Virginia Chronicle. Volunteers will work independently 
 for the remaining time and are encouraged to ask questions. Each event will 
 conclude with a brief discussion. Information about joining through Zoom 
 will be emailed the week of the event.\n\nContact Jessi Bennett for more 
 information at makinghistory@lva.virginia.gov or call Community Foundation 
 Engage at 804-330-7400.\n\nThis is a free event. Registration required:
