Be a Part of History: Become a Citizen Archivist

This event does not require registration.

Interested in the JFK assassination records? What about federal records about UFOs? The National Archives needs help transcribing original documents to make them easier for the public to access. Learn how to decipher cursive and create keyword tags in a short presentation before getting hands-on experience in contributing to the transcription process.

Creating a login using two-factor authentication for the National Archives will be required to contribute.

This program is limited in spaces and is first come, first served. Laptops will be provided. All ages are welcome.
