The Virginia Center for Civil War Studies presents an Independence Day Transcribeathon on Friday, June 30, 2017 at the Blacksburg Library. Heard about the “Mapping the Fourth of July” website (http://www.july4.civilwar.vt.edu) and want to check it out yourself? Getting ready for this year’s July 4th holiday and curious about how Americans celebrated their national anniversary during the Civil War era, when their nation was falling apart? Stop by Blacksburg Public Library any time between 3 and 5 pm to chat with the project team and try your hand at transcribing, tagging, and more. Computers and expert guidance will be provided. Blacksburg Public Library is located at 200 Miller Street in Blacksburg, VA.
