MAKING HISTORY



Participate in enhancing access to collections covering 400 years of Virginia history, people, and culture. From peace to wartime, wedding announcements to world—changing events, court records to letters home, there is something for everyone. Help us tell the story of all Virginians—the famous, the infamous and even the anonymous—and join us in Making History.

Our crowdsourcing projects have three different types of activities. You may wish to try several different collections and activities. Depending on your skills and preferences, you may have more success with one over another. Select the one that you enjoy the most!

The Library of Virginia receives funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to support our crowdsourcing programs, including our transcribe-a-thons and collections available on From the Page. Please share your thoughts about the Making History project and programming in this brief survey:

Identification

This identification process involves viewing documents and selecting the matching image. For the WWII Project, this process helps to sort the different forms into separate groups for indexing to accurately gather all the information and data.
